Future of government school

Highlights from article in Prajavani newspaper on current situation and best way forward:
- Like old generation, current problem is not schools are not near to school but there are no students in government school.
- There are 15lakh schools out of which 11 lakh schools are government schools. Nearly 4.2 lakh schools have less than 50 students.
- In Karanataka, out of 49,430 schools 10,420 schools have less than 50 students and nearly 5000 schools don't have any students.
- Reason for above problem is:
1. As part of "Policy of access to schools", government built more schools
2. Demographic decline of population
3. Increase in private schools

Main problem with this is single or couple of teachers covering 4-5 standards and load on single teacher if others goes on vacation. Author suggests combining schools nearby to reverse this trend.
