Factors of public schools which in
a large way hinder best development

are:
Compulsory education.
Classes too large.
Improper corricula.
Poor condition of school buildings.
Too widely diversified courses of
Study.
Lack of proper discipline.
Insufficient teachers.
Poor systems of administration.
Lack of practical manual training.
