In this episode, Lant Pritchett, an American Development Economist who is currently a visiting professor at the LSE School of Public Policy, speaks with Sanjuktha Athreya, researcher at XKDR Forum, on India’s focus on schooling over education. He describes the difference between the two, and how a focus on the number of students in school, rote memorisation, etc. isn’t enough to improve the educational landscape in India without actually increasing the quality of education and learning.
