A new India-China fact (to me):
The Chinese state prioritized primary education over secondary/tertiary, while the Indian state did the opposite.
Chinese primary enrollment rate passed India in 1950, secondary 1975, and tertiary only in 2000!
新的中印现状
中国把初等教育看得比中等和高等教育更重要，而印度政府则相反。
1950年，中国的小学入学率超过了印度，1975年中学入学率超过了印度，2000年高等教育入学率才超过印度！
以下是各国网民的评论：

India still produces more Master degrees (but China more doctorates)
印度培养的硕士仍然比中国更多（而中国培养的博士更多）
Same thing in teacher investment.
Chinese pupil-teacher ratios in India pass India in 1950, secondary in 1970, and tertiary not at all
教师投资也是如此。
1950年，中国初等教育的学生与教师的比例超过印度，1970年中等教育的这一比例才超过印度，而高等教育的这一比例则还没有超过印度

China is more of an old-fashioned modernist country like European states in 1900 that wanted all peasants to be literate so they could read Army training manuals.
Before Modi, India was more post-modernist in that needs of the educated were prioritized over the masses.
中国更像是一个老式的现代主义国家，就像1900年的欧洲国家一样，希望所有农民都能识字，这样就能读懂陆军训练手册。
在莫迪之前，印度更倾向于后现代主义，受过教育的精英优先于民众。

So, the Chinese got good at assembly line manufacturing (modern), the Indians at software (postmodern).
因此，中国人擅长流水线作业（现代），而印度人擅长软件（后现代）。

So, what is the famous software in India?
印度有什么著名的软件吗

A lot of it was simply inherited
IND gained indep. from the UK in '47, which had founded universities to admin colonies
In CN, the china came to power in '49
IND also avoided the worst of WWII; its per capita GDP was 40% higher vs CN then
CN had little money to found anything
印度很多只是继承了英国遗留下的
印度1947年从英国获得独立。而英国之前在印度建立了大学，方便管理殖民地
新中国是1949年建立的
印度还避开了二战最惨烈的时期；当时的人GDP比中国高出40%
中国当时一穷二白，没有资金建设！

Makes sense for both countries; Indian population extremely variable so you concentrate on the high-IQ castes; China much more homogenous (with a high IQ), so it makes sense to educate them all.
对两国都有意义；印度人口素质差异极大，主要培养高智商的种姓；而中国更加同质化（智商都很高），因此让所有人接受教育是有意义的。

China is an ethnostate. India is a caste society.
中国是一个民族国家。印度是一个种姓社会。

India has the worst public schools, many of them are not functioning at all, despite the huge budget. Teachers not attending school, sending proxes.
印度的公立学校最差，尽管预算庞大，其中许多学校根本无法运作下去。教师不上课，请代课老师

Not just china did it, entire south east Asia did it! Indonesia, Malaysia & others like Vietnam had massive on estmebt in school instead of higher edu; they grewfaster & removed poverty faster; ibduastillcanbakance edu budget by priorisibg high quality school educatoon
不仅仅是中国，整个东南亚都做到了！印度尼西亚、马来西亚和越南等其他国家在学校而不是高等教育中有大量的estmebt；他们更快地摆脱了贫困；ibduastilkance教育预算由priorisibg优质学校教育

Trying to isolate and contain China, rather than compete is a sure way for the U.S. to fall behind
美国试图孤立和遏制中国，而不是公平竞争，必然会落后的

India has always been a society that's supported the Arts and humanities.... Impossible to imagine GOI defunding Arts., Lit. Programs at Uni's in favour of only Engineering. Also don't think there are enough engineering jobs to go around for everyone
印度一直是一个支持艺术和人文的社会。无法想象印度政府取消对艺术的资助。
大学的课程偏重工程学。也没有足够的岗位为每个工科生提供工作

That's why India's services sector was built before her manufacturing sector
所以印度是先发展服务业，而发展制造业

This is so true. Learning at the primary level is abysmal in Indian Schools.
这是真的。印度小学的状况非常糟糕。

It has been disastrous to India. We now have hordes of unemployable and unemployed graduates who don't want to do manual work.
这是印度的一场灾难。我们现在有大批失业的大学生，他们不想从事体力劳动。

Not true, state governments and local bodies focus more on primary education in India
并非如此，印度的州政府和地方机构更重视初等教育

i think we should also be looking at what india does in its primary education
it has an unwritten (or maybe written) policy in govt (and even some private) schls of passing students without question till 8-9th grade
我认为我们也应该看看印度初等教育是怎么样的
政府（甚至一些私人）有一项不成文的政策，要求让8-9年级前的学生都能通过考试

It's the classic caste-profession linkage. Education (particularly Tertiary one) in India was kept inaccessible to >90% of India's population till 3-4 decades ago (even after independence). It was only in 2008 that 50% OBC population got access to HEIs through affirmative action
这是典型的种姓和职业联系。独立前3-4年（甚至在独立后），印度90%以上的人口都无法接受教育（尤其是高等教育）。直到2008年，50%的表列种姓人口通过平权行动，获得了享受高等教育的机会

India has no hope. It's the westerners in their wish to find an alternate to China had been hy up India for 3 decades. India has serious problems - of religion, caste, regional and linguistic. Today India is effectively a Theocratic dic ship with zero respect for Science
印度没有希望。30年来，西方人一直在炒作印度，希望找到一个能替代中国的国家。然而，印度存在严重的问题——宗教、种姓、地区和语言错综复杂。今天，印度实际上是一个不尊重科学的神权国家

Oh, on Palestine, you and I can never be on the same wavelength. Instinctively you will align with the Occupier Racist Coloniser. I will stand by the victim. No surprises
我是印度人，我生活在印度。我知道这里发生了什么。
哦，在巴勒斯坦问题上，你和我永远不会意见一致。本能地，你会与殖民者结盟。而我会站在受害者一边。

The elementary schools my wife attended in South Korea (rural Chongnam) in the 1960's were known as "people's schools"; sounds similar to the Chinese idea.
20世纪60年代，我妻子在韩国（崇南农村）上的小学，被称为“人民学校”；听起来与中国人的叫法相似。

China's early focus on primary education over secondary/tertiary levels shaped its foundation. By ensuring quality basic education first, China built a skilled, literate workforce, catching up in secondary enrollment by 1975 and tertiary by 2000.
中国早期对初等教育的关注超过了中等/高等教育，奠定了基础。
首先基础教育的质量得到保障，中国建立了一支技术熟练、识字的劳动力队伍，到1975年在中等教育入学率方面赶上了印度，到2000年在高等教育入学率上也赶上了印度。
