- mc32 4y agoThis is true for upper middle and so on. But the big numbers (of undereducated) are in the lower classes.
- yamtaddle 4y agoAFAIK this is the norm for countries that aren't so repressive as to deny women education or the (realistic) ability to have a career, but that do offer less overall opportunity or freedom (in practice, if not de jure) than your average liberal "western"-model country, and have middling per-capita GDP.
- dartharva 4y agoIndian students (and more importantly, their parents) are generally averse to non-STEM fields when it comes to education. Getting through engineering/medical colleges is literally a part of the default life cycle in the current generation of middle-class India.
