Full story

The Annual Status of Education Report 2024 surveyed rural households in 359 villages across all 12 districts, assessing children aged 3–16.

Over 95% of children aged 6–14 are enrolled, and pre-school enrolment (ages 3–5) is good. Class 5 reading proficiency (~64.8%) is well above the national average (~44.8%), with significant gains between 2022 and 2024.

Basic arithmetic has improved but still trails reading, and enrolment of older students remains a focus. Water and toilet facilities in rural schools have improved.
