Background : Background 9 Private schools are only 7% of the total number of schools in India but enroll 40% of the students. Parents are willing to pay for education that is perceived to be of “good quality”. So, what constitutes this “good quality” in private schools? Better English teaching
Better monitoring and supervision of students’ performance
Better attention, attendance and accountability of teachers

Is there a way? : Is there a way? 11 ‘In the liberalized global economy where there is a pursuit for achieving excellence, the legitimate role of private providers of quality education not only needs to be recognized, but also encouraged. Public–Private Partnership (PPP) need not necessarily mean only seeking private investments to supplement governmental efforts, but also encouraging innovation in education that the government schools may lack.’ - An excerpt from the document of 11th planning commission Mandate from the Government to enable state owned schools to take a quantum leap to provide “Quality Education”.
