let's talk about Indian school culture:

Very long time ago there wasn't really any official school structure, instead people would go to wise
people with a lot of knowledge known as guru's, the student would live with the guru and help with
everyday tasks, in return the guru would teach them whatever they wanted, from Sanskrit to holy
scriptures, from basic math to metaphysics, the journey of learning was closely linked to nature and
life and went far beyond simple memorization of facts.

Currently india's school system is one of the largest in the world, having to manage a population of
1.3 billion people, however it ranks in the top 40 of school systems worldwide, however only 70% of
children attend public schools, and because attendance is poorly enforced only about 50% of
children actually go to school.

India's school system is often referred to as a 10+2+3 system, meaning the first decade is mandatory,
usually until age 14, after which the student can choose to continue or stop it

At age 5 students will usually go to a form of preschool, followed by lower primary school at age 6-
10, then upper primary from 11-13, from here the student can choose to stop or keep going to
secondary school at age 14-16 and finally upper secondary at age 17-18.

The preschool isn't mandatory, but most parents choose to send their children there anyway.

Most Indian children get sent to public schools even though private ones are also accessible. The
reason behind this is that public schools have better facilities.

Most primary schools choose to educate children in Hindi, the official language of India. Some teach
their children in one of Indias 122 local dialects. The second official language of India is English.

The grades 9 until 12 make up their secondary school. This is entirely funded by the government. The
common subjects in Indian secondary school include 3 main courses: English, the local dialect, and
one more elective subject. Other subjects incorporate math, science, tech, art, social sciences, and
physical education, there are also extracurricular activities such as aerobics, dance, as well as more
PE or art, there are also some fests like Ibri and Delhi.

Most schools start their years in april and continue to may, but some schools start in june and go
through to may, or sometimes July until may.
