A Snapshot of the State of Education in India: “Pratham
released the results of their annual survey earlier this year which may be useful for
those wanting data to inform their work. The survey shows that more children
are attending schools, but that teacher attendance has slightly declined.
According to a Merinews article, the report
shows that the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan
government program is making tremendous impact in some of the Indian states.
Also of note is that the percent of girls not going to school decreased. For
example, in the 11-14 age category, the percent of girls that are out of
school has come down to 7.4 per cent in 2007 from 10.3 per cent in 2006”..………… |
