Evaluate the article
The lead section could be more detailed but it does give a pretty good overview the education system in general. The content is quite up-to-date. It addresses one of Wikipedia's equity gaps by focusing on the specificities of the Indian education system, which may be drastically different from Western education systems that is more commonly known and written about in English-speaking academia. The tone in some sections is not very balanced. For example, the section, "Conceptual understanding of inclusive education" paints a rosy picture of Modi's National Education Policy and says that it is "expected to bring profound changes to education in India" without citing any sources supporting this view. Throughout this article, there are many such instances of opinions being passed off as fact without any supporting citations. Although most of the article is quite clearly written, organization could be improved upon. Usually some facts are randomly inserted in with little alignment with the overall argument or theme of that particular section. In sum, this article can be improved upon by ensuring greater overall coherence and adding citations.
