The factors responsible are to articulated and discussed with particular reference to the impact of neo-liberal policy, the marketisation of education, and new policy Acts. The RTE Act was introduced with the intention to promote democratization of education and social inclusion of poorer and deprived section kids. Is it a real inclusion and equity and equality by providing 25% seats to these sections in private schooling through fee reimbursement by the government? Are the teachers' treating the entire pupil equally? Why does public education matter in the equality aspects? What are the purposes, nature and role of public education in the 21st century? These are key question that frame for this paper. How public education has dismantled through privatization, and the fancy of English medium in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
