While 22% of Indians fall below the poverty line, it has been estimated that more than half of the nation’s population lacks even basic literacy skills.
India’s poverty situation is improving but problems related to poor health and sanitation, low levels of education, unemployment and malnutrition, remain.
And this is, of course, affecting the country’s literacy levels.
India’s literacy rate has increased six times since the end of the British rule in 1947 - from 12% to 74% in recent times.
Yet India has the world’s largest population of illiterate people, according to a report by Oxfam.
- “The literacy rate of female Dalits in Bihar is around 38.5%," said the charity. "It is far behind India’s progress trend. It is still 30 years behind India’s national literacy rate."
There are many differences between rural and urban India.
India devotes around 10.5% of its total government expenditure on education. But it’s not evenly spread out.
- “While rich states like Kerala spend around $685 per pupil per year, in poorer states like Bihar expenditure is only around $100,” said a UNESCO report.
There are better tidings for India at the pre-primary and primary level. India features among the countries achieving pre-primary enrolment targets alongside countries like Australia, Austria, Canada.
More children need access to quality education in India
However, what is questioned is the quality of education - placing India among the 21 countries facing an “extensive” learning crisis.
According to new reports, it’s believed that half of the children are "learning the basics" in 21 of the 85 countries. India features in this list along with 17 countries from sub-Saharan Africa, Mauritania, Morocco and Pakistan.
And though India has rolled out the Right to Education Act, the country is yet to witness its complete and proper implementation.
