Is India's education system stopping the country from becoming a true knowledge giant? A fresh podcast episode called "A Deep Dive in Education" from the series 'Everything is Everything' dives right into this hot topic. Hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah, the episode cuts through the usual noise to reveal why Indian education struggles so much. Instead of just calling for "more spending," Varma and Shah uncover deeper, hidden problems that make India's education system a huge waste of talent and potential. One of the boldest ideas they share is about school vouchers. What does that mean? Simply put, funding should follow the child, not the school. This means each child’s education funding would be the same amount, whether they go to a private or government school. The money would move with the child, giving parents real power to choose schools that truly offer value. Schools, in turn, would have to compete and improve to earn their funding, just like any business. The episode breaks down this complex issue into 12 clear, sharp chapters. It stresses how important early childhood education is and offers strong advice for everyone: parents, young people, teachers, policymakers, and even philanthropists. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone who cares about India's future. It asks tough questions and offers smart, practical solutions to help India rise to its promise as a knowledge powerhouse. As Amit Varma and Ajay Shah say, "Funding schooling, not schools," could be the magic key. So, are we ready to rethink education and give every child the future they deserve?
