Children in India are poorly educated or even denied the right to education, so what can be done to get the government to focus on improving education services ? Under the leadership of corrupt politicians, India has been unable to develop its education system, decreasing access to schools for Indians. Although some reforms have been implemented by public and private institutions, such as the government opening 2,500 new schools and increasing financial support provided to schools, Indians' right to education must be fully restored. The Indian government is aware that children are not receiving education but has chosen to do nothing about it. Indian education began to regress when India stopped using the gurukul system. The gurukul system was a system where there was a group of boys who were taught by one teacher in all subjects. The gurukul system fell out of use when “the modern school system was brought to India, including the English language, originally by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay in the 1830s” (The Edu. System in India”2). The modern school system consists of more students and there is a greater difference between the teacher and student ratio. Furthermore, if the modern school system had not been introduced in India, the quality of education in India would have been better. The modern school system has destroyed the sense of loyalty that students had towards the teacher and vice versa. The modern school system is affected because it does not enjoy financial support from the government. The government is not investing enough money in its modern education system, which is leading to the regression of education in India.
