One of the richest men on the planet has decreed that in a world drenched in artificial intelligence (AI), children need not learn math. Skip addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. Forget all of it. If today’s AI bubble bursts, he may lose his perch among the world’s most powerful individuals and the world may finally laugh at the sheer nerve of that claim. But right now, money and power—which in his case

Since a Niti Aayog report surfaced in June 2026, a familiar refrain has returned to public debate: nearly a lakh government schools have shut down over the past decade—proof, say critics, of the government abandoning public education and of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) working against the poor.

Both followed the same arc: a useful partial explanation was declared as the whole and sole truth, with children bearing the brunt of the consequent misguided approach to education. Beneath these two arcs lay a substratum on which both rested an
Learning to read: why faulty theories should not be allowed to get in the way of primary education | Mint (opens the original)

He spoke fluently, eyes moving across the page, finger tracking the line. Taking the book from him, I opened a page randomly and asked him to read. The child was silent. He had not been reading at all, but had memorized the poem and was performing it using the picture on the page as a cue. He could barely read from the random page. This
