A statement showing details of numbers of schools, enrolment and availability of  teachers  in  Government  and  private  elementary,  secondary  and  higher  secondary  schools during 2013-14 and 2014-15 is annexed .

(c) and (d) Education is a concurrent subject and majority of schools and other educational institutions  in  the  country  come  within  the  purview  of  the  State  Governments.  It  is  for  the concerned  State  Governments  to  regulate  unfair  practices,  including  taking  punitive  action against such schools.

The Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE), the highest advisory body to advise the  Central  and  State  Governments  in  the  field of  education,  had  set  up  a  Committee  to  draft legislation to prevent and prohibit adoption of unfair practices in school education sector.
