Even this Era is growing as a progressive emphasis on student education in India. Many project are running in front of fulfillment of these purposes, while quality of education in India is not so good, growing down as students strength increment in schools.
In 2006, 12.3 percent boys and 17.6 percent girls in the age group of 11-14 were out of school. But the number came down sharply. By 2010, the number dipped to 4.4 percent for boys and 4.6 percent for girls in Bihar.
There has also been an increase in enrolment in Private schools - from 21.8 percent in 2009 to 24.3 percent in 2010.
However, as far as the quality of education is concerned, reading and math ability of children have hardly shown any improvement.
The report said, "Even after five years in school, close to half of all children are not even at the level expected of them after two years in school. Only 53.4 percent children in Class 5 could read a Class 2 level text."

"For rural India as a whole, children's attendance shows no change over the period 2007-2010. Attendance remained at around 73 percent during this period. But there is considerable variation across states," it said.
"The focus is still on enrolment, not retention and quality learning. This is the sorry state of education in India. No number of ASER reports can make a difference without policy backing to improve the quality of education. It is not enough for a child to merely go to school, she must also learn," she added. IANS
