"India has been a major seat of learning for thousands of years, dating back to ancient seats of learning like Nalanda. In modern times, Indian educational institutions (such as the IITs, IISc, IIMs, NITs,AIIMS, ISI, BITS, Great Lakes Institute of Management and ISB) are well known worldwide. India, being a developing nation, struggles with challenges in its primary education and strives to reach 100% literacy. Universal Compulsory Primary Education, with its challenges of keeping poor children in school and maintaining quality of education in rural areas, has been difficult to achieve (Kerala is an Indian state to reach this goal so far)." "Literacy (2001): 64.8 % • Men: 75.3 % • Women: 53.7 % Enrollment1 (2001-02): 189.2 million (doesn't include kindergarten enrollment) • Primary (I-V): 113.9 million • Mid/Upper Prim. (VI-VIII): 44.8 million • Higher Secondary (IX-X): 30.5 million " "NPE 1986 and revised PoA 1992 envisioned that free and compulsory education should be provided for all children up to 14 years of age before the commencement of 21st century. Government of India made a commitment that by 2000, 6% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be spent on education, out of which half would be spent on the Primary education. The 86th Amendment of the Indian constitution makes education a fundamental right for all children aged 6-14 years. The access to preschool education for children under 6 years of age was excluded from the provisions, and the supporting legislation has not yet been passed."
