* On an average, there are less than three teachers per primary school. They have to manage classes from I to V every day.
* High cost of private education and need to work to support their families and little interest in studies are the reasons given by 3 in every four drop-outs as the reason they leave.
* Dropout rates increase alarmingly in class III to V, its 50% for boys, 58% for girls.
* 1 in 40, primary school in India is conducted in open spaces or tents.
* In Andhra Pradesh (South India), 52 upper primary schools were operating without a building in 2002, while in 1993, there were none?
