total enrollment in higher classes has decreased. While at the primary stage, girls enrollment percentage is 48.13, at the higher secondary level it has fallen to 42.56 per cent. This indicates that a considerable number of girls dropout from formal schooling as they move to higher classes. The trend is the same in rural areas too.
The survey revealed that schools in rural areas are not equipped with basic amenities like drinking water, playgrounds and usable toilets. While one-fifth of the total rural primary schools do not have drinking water, three out of 10 schools do not have a usable toilet. Half of them have no playgrounds for children.
