I am an individual belonging to the general caste, and I am personally affected by India's caste-based education system. This system, deeply rooted in socio-economic disparities and historical discrimination, deserves our immediate attention. It fosters inequality and compromise merit, making equality in educational opportunities elusive.

According to a 2019 report by Oxfam International, India has one of the most unequal education systems in the world, with the quality of learning heavily dependent on the caste to which a child belongs. The caste system undermines the principle of equality of opportunities that is enshrined by the Constitution of India itself.

The time has come for us to advocate for an education system that prioritizes knowledge and skills over the caste of a student. Recently, there have been discussions at the national level to reconsider the relevance of caste-based reservations in the education system. However, this conversation needs to evolve into action.

By signing this petition, you are supporting the profound need for an education transformation in India that is inclusive, fair, and promotes equality. Because every child deserves an equal chance at education, irrespective of their caste. Sign the petition now and join the moment for a casteless education system in India.
