Absence of parental involvement
Children in India face learning challenges due to inadequate parental involvement or a lack of recognition of the value of education, impacting the crucial support they need for success.
Limited learning skills of children
Challenges in fundamental learning skills, such as weak problem-solving, low concentration, and poor retention and recall cause children’s low learning outcomes.
Inadequate professional development for teachers
Educational administration needs to invest more adequately in the professional development of teachers, particularly in equipping them to provide skill training to children.
