First, in order not to let children lose at the starting line.
In order not to let their children lose at the starting line, an Indian couple wanted their children to go to a prestigious school, so they moved to a rich area and finally got them into a prestigious school. Unexpectedly, the children in the prestigious schools all speak English, while their children can only speak Hindi, so they can't fully integrate. In order for their children to formally enter India's prestigious schools, the couple used state regulations to play ball in slums. They take advantage of the state's provision that 25% of the places will be given to the poor, and want their children to formally enter famous schools in India.
Second, when education becomes a business.
The couple at the starting line in the film, after pretending to be poor in the slum, bring disgrace to oneself finally cheated the prosecutor and let his children enter the prestigious school smoothly. Their friends' children also successfully entered famous schools, but they found that even if they used the national free places to enter famous schools, they still had to provide high extracurricular activities. This is unaffordable for many poor people. Besides, all the children in this famous school speak English, so how can ordinary poor children speak English? At first, why the couple were rejected by the prestigious schools was because the prestigious schools didn't want to accept children from ordinary business families, because they maintained the class interview threshold of the prestigious schools.
Third, when education becomes a tool to maintain class.
In fact, this phenomenon also exists in China. Some parents, in order for their children to be admitted to a good university in the future, would rather pay the school selection fee to their children's junior high school and senior high school, so that their children can go to a good university in the future. In fact, it is much easier for students in Beijing to get into Tsinghua Peking University than students from other regions. The success of Hengshui actually shows the failure of education in China to some extent. In India, even educational resources have become a tool to maintain the class, and the poor cannot cross this threshold. In China, although we regard the college entrance examination as an examination of fair competition, how well the college entrance examination can play sometimes depends on what kind of school parents are willing to send their children to study.
