Education system in India

Education in India is primarily provided by public schools (controlled and funded by the government at three levels: central, state and local level) as well as private schools. Under different articles of the Indian Constitution, free and compulsory education is provided as the fundamental right to children with age 6 to 14. The approx ratio of the public schools to private schools in India is 7:5.

India has made progress in increasing the gaining rate of the primary education. In 2011 alone, Approximately 75% of the total population, aged between 7 and 10 years, was literate. India's improved education system is often considered as one of the main contributors to its economic development. Much of the overall progress, especially in higher education and scientific researches, has been credited to various public institutes. While enrollment in higher education has increased gradually over the past decade, reaching a total Enrollment Ratio of 24% in 2013, there still remains the significant distance to catch up with tertiary education enrollment levels of the developed nations, the challenge that will be necessary to overcome in order to continue to reap the demographic dividend from India's comparatively young population.

Although there are a lot of private schools in India, they are highly regulated in terms of what they can teach to students.

Whereas in business it is not possible. Money: There is no limit on how much and how fast you can earn being a business owner.
