2. india

india stands second to uganda in the percentage of teachers that do not teach. a recent unesco report states that the indian education system is mired in corruption and that teachers are the biggest players in it. while the global average for teacher absenteeism is 20%, for india it is 25%. this results in the wastage of 22.5% of education funds in india, the study says. absence of a well-established criteria for recruitment, and the lack of a clear policy on promotion, remuneration and deployment, are listed as the primary reasons for absenteeism.

well. at least we're better than uganda.
thank god for small mercies.
