I. Abstract:
The report examines many reasons which caused low literacy rate and some projects which have been done to improve it in India. It is clear that the literacy rate is growing but India still has a low number of literates compared with many countries in Asia. The report investigates the reasons for this trend. The key findings are that teachers are lack ability to teach, lack responsibility and there are not enough teachers in India. In addition, gender discrimination is one reason that kept children, especially girls out of schools. Moreover, child marriage also limit the children’s education. Furthermore, children have less opportunities to study at schools because of child labor in India. Finally, although some programs are conducted, low literates still exist. It is recommended that The Department of Education should solve some problems which limit the number of students in schools.
