Reforming the government schools is important only because the scale and resources of the state cannot be replaced by private initiatives, however well-meaning and substantial that initiative may be. Working with the government is difficult, but real change will come only when government schools become modern institutions of learning. It is, therefore, imperative to break the psychological barrier that government schools cannot do much better, and to demonstrate that government schools can and must provide modern curriculum and modern teaching method for the underprivileged children.
