Are private schools regulated?
In India, private schools are regulated by both central and state governments, but enforcement can be patchy. This means quality and fees vary hugely, a big concern for parents like Ramabai who are sacrificing so much for their children's education. Regulations cover things like curriculum, teacher qualifications, and infrastructure, but loopholes exist.
