I am sure this will make a huge difference. I don't suggest starting up new primary schools, but improvement in the existing schools alone will make a huge difference.

Can you give examples of where government regulation constrains the functioning of the market in the education sector? I agree with most of your points here, but you haven't provided any specific evidence that government policy is preventing delivery of education through private markets. Subsidies to institutions like the IIMs only crowd out the private investment. They can't be blaimed for the failure of private markets to deliver education to non-IIMers. “why is the market not allowed to function in the education sector?”

Throwing good money after bad as in case of PDS, NEGS etc doesn't makes sense Agreed, More investment in education is a no -brainer, but don’t we need to focus on delivery mechanism ( I know you do)..So while a big bang approach will surely work, an apt delivery mechanism needs to be looked into.
