Even after five years of regular schooling Mathematics remains the biggest problem for students across India. Now the Government has been told that almost 45 per cent of students in the fifth standard cannot add or subtract properly.

The finding of this NCERT survey will upset the plans of the Central Government, which is working to improve elementary education.

“We have special programs for those students who are not doing well. There are residual learning courses available. In the 11th plan we will be working on the quality,” Secretary, Primary Education, A K Rath said.
