The Swimming Instructor Who Never Got Wet

For thirty years, N. Krishna Kumar watched India's education system from the inside.

The classrooms. The coaching centres. The gleaming computer labs with no internet. The principal who sends her own children to private school.

He has sat across from parents who pay ₹2 lakh in cash before their child can form a sentence. He has watched teachers teach swimming without ever entering the pool.

This is not a book about what's wrong with Indian education.

You already know what's wrong.

This is a book about why we keep doing it anyway — and what happens if we don't stop.

Funny, furious, and uncomfortably honest — The Swimming Instructor Who Never Got Wet is the book the education system doesn't want you to read.
