“Do children of bureaucrats and MPs and politicians study in my school? No. They send their children to private schools because they can afford them.”

Singh suggests government schools are neglected because officials' children don't attend them.

“Teachers are hired to teach, but across India, government deploys them to do a lot of non-teaching assignments. They are used for election duty and to conduct Census. Most of my teachers have been on voters' list revision duty since July. It's affecting the quality of education,”

Singh explains how teachers are pulled away from teaching for government duties like election work.

“And a majority of them are from underprivileged castes and communities. Anyone who can afford sends their children to private school,”
