About this listen

India is battling an educational crisis of unprecedented proportions. Half of the country’s Standard 5 students cannot read a Standard 2 level text in their native language. Seventy-six percent of Indian students don’t make it to college. The list of alarming statistics doesn’t end there. But who are the faces behind these statistics? What are their stories? What would it take to alter their futures and subsequently, the future of India?

Grey Sunshine tells the human stories behind the national crisis we see - and yet don’t see - every single day: the state of Indian education. It is an invitation to walk in the shoes of hundreds of thousands of children from less privileged backgrounds. Battling the injustices of poverty alongside them are 4,000 unlikely leaders from Teach for India, a two-year fellowship programme that places young people as full-time teachers in government classrooms across the country. The stories of these students and teachers represent the struggle to reform a failing education system and the hope for a brighter sun to shine tomorrow.

if you ever wonder, why things are not happening, or think about how our education system has failed us, you need to also understand the challenges people go through every single day. A few brave people decided to change that and how. So happy to have read this book

This is an excellent book and brings out the loss the workd endures by not paying attention to underprivaleged children in both the west and the east. It does this in a very meaningful way, and shows that by working with people and not against them, the future could be a lot better for countless people without a huge investment. People naturally want to help, but the system likes to hold them back to preserve the status quo.

Excellent Book Worth a read
