According to the Kothari Commission, education is an important tool for change. The Kothari Commission states that the primary education standard has been exceedingly poor. To quote its remarks, it is widely accepted that the education standard in a primary school is insufficient and that in several academic disciplines, it imparts a little more than literacy and basic knowledge. Primary school is expected to form the basis for a child to develop into some responsible and productive citizen of the country (Education and National Development, the Kothari Commission Report, VoIVol.ll, p. 268). Due to the lack of adequate infrastructure, a huge increase in the population, opposition to girls' education, and many other reasons, a large proportion of children in the backward classes, and poor demographics, cannot receive primary education. Free and compulsory education is recognized as a right of the child not only to preserve social justice and democracy but also to improve the skill of the average worker and to increase national productivity. The Kothari Commission recommended compulsory education for seven years and suggested some realistic steps to implement it. It was witnessed that there was a remarkable increment in the number of primary and upper primary schools from 1950-51 to 1986, the. The number of primary schools in 1950-'51 was 2,09,691, which grew to 5,29,392 by 1986,; whereas in 1950-'51, there were 13,596 upper primary schools. andAnd by 1986, their number increased to 1,38637.[2].
