Goct schools are dead in urban Tamilnadu. There are a few govt aided schools. The dominant schools in most localities are private institutions. It may something to do with Tamilnadu`s large Christian population.

Even if govt schools are good does it have enough capacity to educate everyone ? What is the use of a govt school if it has enough space for 10% of total population ? there are no prizes for guessing which 10% of the population attends the school.

There are multiple fissures in India

north and south
rich and poor
urban and rural
Hindu and Muslim
upper caste and lower caste
Hindi and Non-Hindi
fair and dark skinned
male and female

All this ignores local factors.

This would be too hard on the brain cells of some people who look at everything as Islam versus rest of the world.

there was a survey some time back (a few years back) which surveyed thousands of well known acheviers in various feilds, ie business, Academics, Arts, Professionals, Politics, Govt etc which pointed out that most of them came from very worst of the govt schools(this survey if I remember right was done in light of the consistent good performance of poor students in govt schools in Delhi and elsewhere).

The govt schools that I am referring to in delhi are not the KV etc which are quite good. I am reffering to the schools run by Delhi Govt (those days Delhi administration) these adhere to the Delhi Board slaybus and exams(though almost similar there are slightly different and delhi board s a bit tougher in science subjects and very poor in langages) unlike the KVs which adhere to the CBSE.

I have lived in bangalore, Hyderabad, and Delhi and went through 9 schools and 2 colleges as well as having some friends who own colleges as well as some who are professors and lecturers.I have cousins who have studied in gone through schooling in mulitple states too. I do have some Idea what I am talking about.

Who the hell cares if americans prefer to smoke up their dollars on wireless or in tobacco.
We are doing well better than before and that will continue to grow. That is what matters.

sure one day we will find that the by the way I made a small contribution to your welfare this month. When you are out of job remember the .5 billon in social security we give away to americans.

Perhaps for this reason this is happening

`` ...It is hard to study without a decent private school education. I dont think so. Private I think you mean expensive. Some of the best results in schools in Bangalore come from govt as well as private(extreemly cheap and basic schools like acharaya patshala). ``

You have this ugly habit of making an exception into a rule. Most people who have done well went to good private schools. Some private schools are cheap because they are backed by some endowment or charity organization. Some have to be funded by students and hence the high fees. Tell me exactly how a dalit farmworker kid is going to get into such an instituiton.

`` Similarly In Delhi the govt schools (you got to see how bad they are, the students need to be confined in like a jail and still they manage to escape the school during school hours, approx 30% of the teaching posts are not filled those teachers who come rarely take classes) give out the best results. Till a decade back they were getting usually 60% of the top 20 ranks in the 10th and 12th exams (im not aware of the results now as I dont follow the trends there now.) ``

There are very good govt schools. KV-IIT and KV-CLRI are still the best schools in Chennai. I am sure most of students are employees of IIT professors, CLRI researchers, bank officers and army officers.
