Likewise, the Mumbai-based NGO Pratham’s Annual Status of Education Report 2005 , which was prepared after a survey in 28 states and union territories, reveals that 35% of children in the 7-14 age group are unable to read simple paragraphs, while 41% failed to solve a simple two-digit subtraction problem or a division problem. Instead of preparing a pool of educated workers for the future, the government’s policies have given rise to an illiterate and innumerate population.
同样，设立在孟买的非政府组织“布拉罕”在对28个邦和联邦属地进行调查之后发布了2005年度教育状况报告。报告显示，7至14岁年龄段的儿童35%不能进行简单的阅读，41%不会解答简单的两位数减法题或除法题。政府的政策不是为未来准备受过教育的劳动大军，反而导致了文盲和不识数人口的增加。
