Educating the Masses – at 28% of the total?!

India's enrollment at secondary and higher secondary schools has jumped 30% in the past 8 years.
The percentage of female students has grown 40% during that same time period.
The number of schools in India has grown 20-fold since 1950 from 7,400 schools to more than 152,000 in 2004-05.
However….the gross enrollment ration of 14-16 year olds stands at just 51.55%!
The gross enrollment of 16-18 year olds is only 27.8%!
Barely one in four Indians get to finish 12 years of school.
India has a very long way to truly educate its masses.
It seems like there is a great opportunity for some education entrepreur/s here.
Would you like to go to India to help teach?
