A Süddeutsche Zeitung report profiles Rajendra Singh, a lone teacher managing 56 students of mixed ages in rural India, illustrating the country's chronic underinvestment in education. The piece contrasts this reality with Prime Minister Modi's economic ambitions, suggesting a disconnect between policy rhetoric and ground-level outcomes. The report is anecdotal but consistent with broader data on teacher shortages and infrastructure gaps.
