Then the students had to read that chapter on their own and also complete questions at the end of the chapter. After that, she just left the class and if the students had any difficulty in completing their work, they had to wait for the next day to ask questions. This shows the lower end of education in some parts of India, but one woman and her team are changing the outcome. …show more content…
