Malawi’s education paradox
Telangana, a state in India, faces a paradox in its education sector, with students performing exceptionally well in national exams, but also having a high share of students out of the education system. The state's low investment in education and poor infrastructure are major contributors to this issue.
Telangana's education sector is marked by a paradox. Students from the state perform well in national exams, with 11 out of 43 students scoring 100 percentile in 2023. However, the state also has the highest share of students in the 14-18 age group who are not in the education system. The Annual Status of Education Report for 2022 reveals that 22.1% of children in this age group are out of the education system, compared to the national average of 13.2%. School students in Telangana lack skills compared to their counterparts in other parts of the country. Low investment in education by successive governments is a major contributor to this issue. The state has 3,274 junior colleges, but only 420 are managed by the state government, resulting in many students having to travel long distances to reach college. The government has increased funding for education, but it is still not enough to address the issue.
