Abstract

The decade of the 1990s has seen noteworthy progress in the field of elementary education. There has been progressive improvement in overall literacy levels across the country. The problem of access has been addressed to a significant degree with close to 90 per cent children in the 6-11 age group currently enrolled in primary schools – formal, alternative and private taken together. The country has witnessed a decadal jump (1991–2001) of 13.17 per cent for men and 14.87 per cent for women in literacy rates and for the first time, a decrease in the absolute number of illiterates.
