Challenges in education system leading to inequalities and low social mobility

In India, more than 50% of primary school-going children experience suboptimal learning outcomes due to unfavourable learning environments and shortage of required educational resources. As most schools are unable to cater to the educational needs of students, an estimated 40% of parents in India enroll their children in supplementary education. However, access to quality and affordable supplementary education is limited, especially outside tier 1 cities.
