More teachers for math and science

The Human Resource Development ministry asks state governments to appoint more teachers for mathematics and sciences to improve quality of school education in India.The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) recently found that over 50 per cent of Class V level government school students fail to solve simple mathematics questions like multiple addition and subtraction.The ministry will also seek feedback on the Central government proposal to open 6,000 new model secondary schools in the country.
