The government doesn't need to access systems like byjus and vedantu. There are open-source systems available to be utilized. Like khanacademy and hundreds of different content channels on education available for free. Accessibility is the problem. This 85% we are talking about is struggling to meet basic life needs. They don't have access to good quality internet. And also the fundamental problem lies in the fact that the things and the ways they are being taught do not take into account their current situation. I have been working voluntarily to teach Indian kids to help them develop a learning process that lets these children decide what they want to learn. Few examples being when their learning can be a mix of what they themselves want to learn, what they want to learn so they can help their families immediately get out of the financial trouble, not directly but be a helping hand to contribute in their family earning. It's time we looked at education to be an as one family unit thing rather than just teaching one kid in that family.
