we're going to have some climate impacts maternal greater than what we see on t.v. . it's really frightening. why aren't people are more concerned. little yellow. to the 1st t.w. . this is the doctor news asia coming up on the program solving the problems of india's government schools the capital jenny has that the way of reforms but how serious is the indian government in improving the situation and why isn't it a key issue in the ongoing election plus. the philippines holds me tom elections widely seen as a bit of them on president drug to take. on issues hard mind sees all stranded is group on top.

welcome to the dublin years a shop it's good to have you without. indians on sunday went to the polls in the 6th and 2nd last phase of the country's mamet's general elections water also took place in the capital delhi where the ruling party or the common man party is seeking to increase its tally of votes it's been credited with vastly improving the face of government funded school education in the city quite unlike other states in india where government funded schools are not saudis state the situation goes to the heart of the state of education in the country india has been spending less than 3 percent of its g.d.p. on education in the last 3 years the figure in 201718 was just 2.7 percent despite this education does not figure prominently as

a major election issue in the country in delhi however things are different. this is how premier france is. getting a brand sunderland's rating to school. she's raised in ever since his mother a school dropout. criminal also didn't get the chance to go to school. but she wants to make sure prince does. the 8 year old studies at a prestigious private school in dayton. and. it costs more than a $1200.00 euros a year a huge financial burden. husband is a shelf you should stick it out loans to cover the school fees. and she's determined to make it worth. in the private school is a good environment for pretty good values the teachers the good the toilets all the lessons are in english the prince will learn to speak and write in english we want

prince to work in an office and have a better life he shouldn't end up doing what we do. pre-vis fascination this is a familiar theme in india. many families like hers see private school as the path to success and social mobility but getting into these schools isn't easy. they dominated by children from wealthy families. private schools like these are highly coveted across india though they charge exorbitant food heat the alternative government funded schools offering of coffee but they suffer from beach absences for infrastructure and a lack of facilities the ruling party in delhi is trying to bridge that gap. they are the lucky man spartans is holding a rally instead. education is a central campaign issue. it's been going to the party says it's constant public

schools in the capital since it came to power in $2013.00 and has succeeded in creating a more level playing field. the reforms are spearheaded but i began to detail after. she studies in oxford england and something of an education crusader she has no time for an interview in the frenzy of campaigning just a hurried statement was that there is nor the means what it using inequality about the access to education if the government's work in education seems to have paid off at this public school admissions a for. the delhi government says it's been a 1000 new classrooms and is constructing another $12000.00. its streets thousands more teachers and started special classes for children falling behind many of them 1st generation learners.

lessons begin with happiness classes meditation exercises to beat stress and start the day on a positive note. for money society or delis education minister money is a big part of the solution. of spending in education now accounts for 26 percent of delhi's annual budget. but he admits the changing attitudes towards public schooling is an option to ask. status symbol is another problem many people come to me and the one my farewell good word admitting to some good parents who like many of the parents are worried that if we send our kids to going to school they don't know what will be their future 1st of all we have the mix of qualities that once quote it is their view contains that mindset of. back at prima's home that's already beginning to happen. her granddaughter monica also moved in with her a few months ago. primo has heard about the improved public schools in the city

she's now considering sending money to one of them the. romney event that i'm on is the c.e.o. and founder of the center for teacher accreditation in bangalore she joins me now right now glad you could make it or not the right to education that was passed in 2009 by the government of india mandates that 25 percent of all seats in private schools need to be filled up by economically weaker sections of society but a study has found only about 20 percent of these seats around the country get filled why does that happen. one of these unsettling one is that why a few private schools are. doing this very sincerely. there is also a large number of private schools which are sort of discourage children from because sections from actually joining to be fair to the private schools they have

their own set of constraints because the. the demon that is supposed to be given to them in. 2 or 2 of the piece of these children is going to many of them it's not . it doesn't always happen etc so so they are under their own precious and all and finally of course on the part children of the parents are also there isn't as if you shouldn't in joining some of the cools the gods are there and there is a social value so you do realise then you're going to be entering these schools that you are now going to be studying the children from a very different market society and an education in the uk as unfortunate people are very bifurcated in that manner so also that has addition is also there so it's a bunch of factors looking at all these factors what would you say about the role of the government how much of

a priority is education how much has it been for success of government. so. well. this might be a big country due to popular opinion but i would say that much of the government is saying you know i'm concerned steeds have actually been doing north of time effort and money on education and it has been simply initiated on the country that you're going to a different direction some have been too expensive in the government system some have been about the role of the private sector some have been a motive of improving the quality of teachers so there have been different kinds of initiatives but the fact is that it's a logic problem it's i'm not in diverse country so why do we have taken several steps forward in the last you know you know whatever 20 years the deal is we still have a long way to go so i like to look at it as not as

a continuing journey richo many of us are working on government time private to get up and of course if you ask me right now is it important enough in let's see the elections just something if it doesn't come up as a big topic no right we haven't even there for the time being i'm never going on c.e.o. and founder of the center for teacher today should in bangalore thank you very much voters in the philippines have cost their ballots in mid-term elections many see the vote as a referendum on president broadly good detail and his violent war on drugs the most crucial race is for office seats in the 24 member senate which deter to use expected to strike with allies the opportunity has been seen as a check on detect his political dominance a senate majority could be allowed to restore capital punishment and even change the constitution. for more we have analyst richard head daddy and joining us from

manila richard why does president want to change the constitution and also reintroduce the death penalty. well i want to the president believes that one way forward for the philippines is to give more power. next. drug war crime history the election also it's all about said or at least that was one of the solutions to discuss the bulkiest conviction that perry 1st but it's also a lot protecting himself. he ends he's constitutionally mandated term 2022 you know the philippines is very similar when every president steps down from power and to please a very hostile successor so president there it is also look at what's going to happen to him once he steps out and 2022 in light of all of the extrajudicial killings and the like of all of accusations of abuse of power and corruption under his administration change it is partly about his conviction for more power to paraphrase but also protecting himself from conviction by the successors but also

heading into this election. remains very popular not of international outcry over his drug war that has been criticism from. why does it continue. well present during this part of this broader species off you know off our tar and populist leader emerge all around the world that there's not in the middle of the iau whether resizing the one in turkey or even people in jungle we go go look in indonesia president there is just late this version of that at this in this part of the world and it's worse president they're just concerned there are also reasons why it's popular which have nothing to do so surveys show that only 15 percent of filipinos are categorically committed to democracy while in class majority filipinos are open to the idea of an authority and leader because they're sick and tired of read law and of structure news and the institutions of the state so there's the modesty that the that is helping to terry then decided to direct it

he's a 1st president from mean then else out of the philippines he tends to get a very high support there too so funded percent in that which is obviously overall average and of course not to mention if it is an economy has been built in the past and years and that and that explains why not only to terry but also he's criticise or spinning like you know had an extraordinarily high approval ratings i.q. no went down from power the plus 50 percent approval rating which is quite impressive in the philippines so that's a structural condition under which he often decides. rigid headed and on and. on for breaking that down for us thank you. that's it for today and there's more stories on our web site that's get up with flash and be sure to check us out on facebook as well. believe it always it was just arrested in japan but this was no ordinary event women are going to be banned from competition but on sunday mother's day there was a women's only. this year next time for back. to
