India's Education Data

EdPriEnrollGrossFemalePcnt

Primary gross enrollment of female students was found in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, Annual Report. The data has not been verified from prevous model versions and the original source was insufficiently cited and has not been found again. The series has data for only 2004 and needs updated. 

Gross enrollments for females are over 100% in most of India's states. Lakshadweep has the lowest gross enrollment which is forecast to increase rapidly and then decline after students get on grade level. 

This series could be updated using data that is available from the Ministry of Planning with data from 2011 and there may be more recent data available with further research. 

EdPriEnrollGrossMalePcnt

Primary gross enrollment of male students was found in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, Annual Report. The data has not been verified from prevous model versions and the original source has not been found. The series has data for only 2004 and the series needs updated. 

Male gross enrollment rates are higher than the female gross enrollment rates overall. About half of the states have enrollments over 100% which are forecast to decline to 100% at around 2030. Lakshadweep has the lowest gross enrollment rate which is forecast to increase to over 100% and then declines back down to 100% by around 2055. 

This series can be updated with data from the Ministry of Planning in a report on education in 2011. There may be more recent data to update this series with, but further research is needed. 

EdPriEnrollGrossTotalPcnt

Primary gross enrollment of all students was found in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, Annual Report. The data has not been verified from prevous model versions and the original source has not been found. The series has data for only 2004 and needs updated. 

The model behavior for the total primary education gross enrollment looks good because all states smoothly approach 100% enrollments. States that have a low starting point increase to well above 100% as students that are behind in their education catch up. This occurs most notably in Lakshadweep, which starts at about 60% total enrollments. 

This series could be updated with data that is available from the Ministry of Planning that has a report of education enrollment in 2011. There may be a more recent report available to update this series with, but it has not be located.
