An extensive private audit has revealed that last year, 96.5% of all children aged 6-14 years being enrolled in school. NGO Pratham`s Annual Survey of Education Report says the proportion of girls in the age group of 11-14 years too increased to 94.1% although quality of education remained a big concern. But the question is really simple : Do you agree that really so many children in India go to school?

There was tremendous improvement in Education in village level. But 96.5% seem to be high, it may be correct kids born after 2005.

Despite some movement in primary education, assured rural employment and access to potable water, India continues to lag behind in realising the Millennium Development Goals set for 2015 by the United Nations, says a new report. Persistent inequalities, ineffective delivery of public services, weak accountability systems and gaps in implementing pro-poor policies are major bottlenecks to progress, said the country report on India pertaining to the Millennium Development Goals. It is possible poverty will be halved by 2015, but by no means certain, said the report, adding states in India's heartland like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa and Uttarakhand were unlikely to achieve the targets if it remained business as usual. "The proportion of poor in these states is currently at 64 percent of the country's poor and this is likely to increase to 71 percent by 2015. The number of poor in 2015 is likely to be 279 million at all-India level," said the report. Its key recommendations included greater devolution of power to local governments in rural areas, streamlining of funds flow, and use of information technology to reach the unreached and stop leakages. "The stakes are high. With five years to the 2015 deadline we have a narrow window of opportunity to generate renewed momentum," said Statistics and Programme Implementation Secretary T.C.A. Anant at a roundtable here to discuss the report. "For us programme implementation is the major challenge and to make every tier of the administration accountable to people," Anant said, adding it was imperative to integrate these goals into all levels of planning by all stakeholders.

Dear Anita, Can you share the source for this survey with us? All I got was this:

"According to the latest survey by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) in June 2008, the literacy rate among the population with age 7 and above was 72% whereas the adult population (age 15 and above) had a literacy rate of 66%".

I really don't know where and how do they do these surveys !! There are so many kids out there who are homeless, working, living in slums I don't believe that these kids form only 4.5% of the whole!!

This study seems to estimate the number of school going kids in India.There  is substantial number of kids in rural India who don't attend the schools at all.
