In UDISE+ 2023-24 for the first time, at national level individual student wise data has been collected from all recognized schools in country through UDISE+ since 2022-23.

Key findings of UDISE+ 2023-24

  • Student Enrolments: Overall dip in school enrolments as well across country, falling from 25.18 crore in 2022-23 to 24.8 crore in 2023-24.
    • This represents a drop of about 1.55 crore students (nearly 6%) from 2018-19 to 2021-22.
  • Dropouts: Zero-dropout rate at Foundational level (pre-primary to Class 2) is due to admission of students from Anganwadi, standalone private pre-primary school directly to Class I in recognized schools.
    • Maximum dropout rates were at Secondary level (Classes 9 to 12).
    • Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra saw among highest drop in enrolments
  • Retention rate: Higher at elementary level.
  • Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER): Minor dip at all levels except at the secondary level.
    • GER compares enrolment in a specific level of education to population of age group that is age-appropriate for that level of education.
  • School infrastructure: Assam, Odisha and Karnataka face underutilised infrastructure due to low student-to-school ratios.
