Significant social issues currently influencing Indian education include inequality, access, and quality of education. A persistent digital divide hampers educational opportunities, particularly in rural areas. Factors such as gender disparities and caste discrimination also impact student enrollment and retention. Additionally, issues like the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated learning gaps, making quality online education critical. The rise of mental health awareness further emphasizes the need for supportive environments. Addressing these challenges is vital to ensure that every student has equal opportunities and resources for a quality education.
