Experts say that immediate attention is required, with a strong focus on creating a road map to implement the Right to Education (RTE) effectively, addressing teacher vacancies, providing increased allocation and reviving initiatives that once helped students, such as providing bicycles to girls for better school access.

Without a clear strategy and renewed investment in these areas, experts argue that the state risks letting another year slip by with the same systemic issues that put students at a disadvantage.
