However, China has 3 times India's per capita GDP and see teacher-student ratio , birth rate etc

China can expect to reduce its stock of teachers by 1.8 million in 2015, while a more moderate reduction is estimated for India (50,000). This provides an opportunity to improve education quality by investing more resources per teacher and pupil.
