India: Primary education is a fundamental right in India, and an important Millennium Development Goal to which India and the Bank are totally committed. The Government of India recognizes education as a critical input for the development of human capital, jobs for its people, and economic growth for the country.

Its flagship elementary education program – the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) – or Education for All – aims to enroll all 6-14 year-olds in school by 2010. It also aims to have all these children complete eight years of schooling by that year. India has over 194 million children in 1.1 million habitations across the country, making the SSA one of the largest programs of its kind in the world.

China: The development of primary education in so vast a country as China was a formidable accomplishment. In contrast to the 20- percent enrollment rate before 1949, in 1985 about 96 percent of primary-school-age children were enrolled in approximately 832,300 primary schools (see table 10, Appendix A). This enrollment figure compared favorably with the record figures of the late 1960s and early 1970s, when enrollment standards were more egalitarian. In 1985 the World Bank estimated that enrollments in primary schools would decrease from 136 million in 1983 to 95 million in the late 1990s and that the decreased enrollment would reduce the number of teachers needed. Qualified teachers, however, would continue to be in demand.
