The proportion of school students in Grade 3 who are able to read a book meant for Grade 1 has improved only marginally from 40.2% in 2014 to 42.5% in 2016

New Delhi:
The overall learning level in schools across rural India continues to be “pretty disappointing”, according to the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) published on Wednesday.

Nationally, the proportion of school students in Grade 3 who are able to read a book meant for Grade 1 has improved only marginally from 40.2% in 2014 to 42.5% in 2016.

And the proportion of all children in Grade 5 who can read a book meant for Grade 2 has declined to 47.8% in 2016 from 48.1% in 2014.

This means every other student is unable to read a book meant for someone three levels below the class in which they are.

Similarly, the ability of Grade 8 students to divide has dropped further. The proportion of all Grade 8 students in rural India who can do a three digit by one digit division has come down to 43.3% in 2016 from 44.2% in 2014.

“The numbers are pretty depressing,” said Arvind Subramanian, chief economic advisor to the government while unveiling the report. He said the problem has to be dealt with from the bottom-up.
