I admit what you are saying but look at other arguments I have posted.
How can we judge one's capability if he/she isn't taught the thing or exposed to it. ?
I also admit that we should have allowed students of cities which have similar facilities instead of dropping all out.
Look at the primary concern of ours- Its primary at highest. India wants to literate its population more than anything. Higher education and graduation comes at different level. For that you need different approach especially in graduate level. Post-graduation is entirely different game.
In my city there re 40 engineering colleges which churn out thousands of engineers each year and almost 75-80% gets placed with acceptable salary considering their family income level.
But when it comes to primary education, first we need to provide is basic facility which is teachers, which aren't there. Believe me village kids and people are as intelligent as we.
So when it comes to comparing the education level, one needs to take into account all the factors. Its India. Things are not same as US, Germany or China.
Even in towns, there are hardly English medium schools and only 1 or 2 have CBSE schools.
You have to go through my posts where I have mentioned few points.
