Outline

 * Add content to History section so that it is more complete and less focused on early history
 * Add more measures of educational quality to Quality section, especially in primary and secondary education. Move some content from Introduction to Quality section.
 * Add content to Issues section, Employer training subsection, Teacher Careers subsection (perhaps rename Teacher Careers to Teacher Training in consultation through Talk Page)
 * Add subsection on Public Private Partnerships (PPP) under Initiatives
 * Rewrite introduction so that it's more of a summary, and less statistics, in consultation with others through Talk Page
 * Merge "Extracurricular activities" with "School education" in consultation with others through Talk Page, or remove it or change it into "Student experience" or something broader
 * Fix some spelling errors and make spelling more consistent

Proposed edits
Rewrite lead so that it's more of a summary, and less statistics Add subsection on Public Private Partnerships under Initiatives §5 "Extracurricular activities": merge, remove, or change Spelling errors and inconsistency
 * Move sentence in paragraph 3 "The private education market ... billion market." to §2.3.3 Private schools (unaided), because budget seems very specific.
 * Move paragraph 4 "As per the Annual ... improve such schools." to §6.2 Attainment because it is full of statistics that may be confusing for someone aiming to get an overview of Education in India and the article. Also, edit the paragraph:
 * Original: As per the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2012, 96.5% of all rural children between the ages of 6-14 were enrolled in school. This is the fourth annual survey to report enrolment above 96%. India has maintained an average enrolment ratio of 95% for students in this age group from year 2007 to 2014. As an outcome the number of students in the age group 6-14 who are not enrolled in school has come down to 2.8% in the year academic year 2018 (ASER 2018). Another report from 2013 stated that there were 229 million students enrolled in different accredited urban and rural schools of India, from Class I to XII, representing an increase of 23 lakh students over 2002 total enrolment, and a 19% increase in girl's enrolment. While quantitatively India is inching closer to universal education, the quality of its education has been questioned particularly in its government run school system.While more than 95 percent of children attend primary school, just 40 percent of Indian adolescents attend secondary school (Grades 9-12). Since 2000, the World Bank has committed over $2 billion to education in India. Some of the reasons for the poor quality include absence of around 25% of teachers every day. States of India have introduced tests and education assessment system to identify and improve such schools.

 * In place of paragraph 4, include a paragraph summarizing Quality and Issues sections
 * Remove the last sentence of paragraph 5 "Hence, the differentiation ... can be misleading," rewrite "Although there are private schools in India, they are highly regulated in terms of" as "Private schools are highly regulated in terms of," add, and merge of rest paragraph 5 with paragraph 3
 * Public Private Partnerships aim to address inadequacies of government initiatives through research, innovation, supplemental or outsourced schooling, and improving the public system. Nonprofits interventions started in the 1970s acting independently, then expanded throughout the 1980s, established government partnerships in the 1990s, and starting in the 2000s, now collaborate on large scale solutions. The most effective solutions involve support and training for teachers and head teachers, reform of teaching through curriculum, pedagogy, and assessments, remedial education, and creating models.
 * Post the following on Talk Page: The "Extracurricular activities" section is a stub. I am wondering if we can merge it with "School education," merge it with "Quality" and rename "Quality" to "Quality and enrichment," remove it, or change it into "Student experience" and add content to it. -- (add signature)
 * Merged §5 Extracurricular activities stub under §6 Quality. Done without consulting on Talk Page, because Talk Page unresponsive.
 * "enrol" -> "enroll" §3.2
 * Done
 * Madrasa (spelling that Wikipedia uses)
 * Consult with talk page to make consistent. Should we use "madrasa" as per the Wikipedia page, "madarsa" as per Hindi "मदरसा" or "madrasah" as per the Arabic?
 * §2.1.3 spelled as Madarsa
 * §8.1 spelled as Madarsa
 * §2.1.2 spelled as Madrasah
 * §8.1 caption spelled as Madrasah

Outline
