Towards Quality and Inclusive Education for All

India's education system has made significant strides in recent years, but it still faces challenges that need urgent attention.

While some regions have demonstrated impressive literacy and numeracy gains, others continue to lag behind, underscoring the need for systemic reform. Inspired by international education models, particularly Finland's, India must take decisive steps to enhance foundational education, teacher training, and access to resources.
