Education

Education in India is a diverse system that aims to provide learning opportunities for all children, with a focus on both academic and vocational training. The education system is divided into three main stages: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary education is free and compulsory for children aged 6 to 14, as per the Right to Education Act. Secondary education offers specialization in subjects like Science, Commerce, and Arts, while tertiary education includes universities and specialized institutes like IITs and IIMs. The curriculum is regulated by various boards like CBSE, ICSE, and State Boards. However, challenges such as disparities between urban and rural education, outdated teaching methods, and mental health concerns for students remain. Recent reforms like the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aim to modernize the system, promoting inclusivity, digital learning, and skill development. India is also seeing increased focus on vocational education to equip students for the workforce
