印度在普及小学四年义务教育过程中出现的严重问题是辍学率太高。虽然升学时注册的学生很多,但数月之后就有55％的儿童退学。农村情况更为严重,坚持上完四年级的仅为适龄儿童的15％。产生这一现象的主要原因是:处于贫困线上的三亿多人无法承担由于孩子上学而带来的沉重负担。 A serious problem that India faces in its four-year universal primary education is the high drop-out rate. Although many students enrolled during their studies, 55% of children dropped out of school in a few months. In rural areas, the situation is even more serious, insisting that in the fourth grade, only 15% of school-age children. The main reason for this phenomenon is that more than 300 million people living in poverty can not afford the heavy burden of children attending school.
