At present, there is public education in India, but the conditions are often very simple and there are few places.
Many people who can afford to go to school are basically middle-class families in India.
In terms of higher education, at present, the number of public education places in schools often only accounts for 10-20%, and its price is really cheap. A few hundred RMB a semester. But Indians have a large population, and often these places are unable to make ends meet.
At present, the children who really get a good education in India are generally elite children, and there is also the cost of choosing a school in India. Therefore, poor families have long been dormant, and no longer believe that "education changes fate" in China people's minds. Moreover, the phenomenon that Indians laugh at low-caste people at school is rampant. Or bring the class level into life.
So the poor often turn to religion, hoping to be reincarnated in the afterlife to the rich. The funniest example is asking God for exam results and asking God for his wife's money.
As for the Indian elite, they still believe that the moon abroad is rounder than at home, and they still want to send their children abroad to study.
