New Delhi: A survey by National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA) has made the startling finding that the primary enrolment among Muslims is still a lot lower than the national level. Muslims who make around 14 percent of the national population, their ratio in primary school was a meager 9.4 percent, while in pre-primary level it was just about 7.5 percent.
Though it was not at all amazing after recent surveys including the Sachar Committee report, all showing that Muslims were the most backward community when it comes to education.
What is good about the recent survey is that it shows that Muslims are doing a lot better in states where the over all development level is good and also in state out of BIMARU hold that include UP, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The enrolment of Muslims in primary level in Andhra Pradesh is better than the overall enrollment in the state. The same is true about Muslims enrollment in a not well off state of West Bengal.
