Education equity is one of the least improved upon areas in most of the Indian states, says a government report. The indicators for the education equity index, that were adopted for the report, are the performance difference between students of reserved categories and general categories, between rural and urban students, between male and female students, enrolment of children with special needs, etc.
The Performance Grading Index (PGI) report has been released by the Ministry of Human Resources Development. This is the second such report to have been released by the Ministry. The first report was released in 2019 for the 2016-2017 reference year. The PGI was designed to catalyse transformational change in the field of school education. The PGI 2018-2019 report has been based on the data available in Shagun and the National Achievement Survey-2017.
