Education: Status of Education in India

SDG-4 aims to provide equitable, inclusive, and quality education for all by 2030. While India has seen improvements in primary school enrollment and female participation in secondary education, transition rates to higher education remain low. Dropout rates for boys beyond secondary school are also high due to economic pressures and lack of interest. There are also challenges like a focus on rote learning over skills, teacher shortages, and inadequate training and financing. The government is taking initiatives to address these issues through programs like Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan and improving access to education resources with digital tools. However, improving learning outcomes and ensuring all students achieve basic skills remains a work in progress.
