The future of Bihari students is crushed...

There is no need to tell much about the poor condition of the education system because a lot is already in the open. As it worsens, the state's resources start getting affected from many angles. The first impact is direct migration. For the last one and a half to two decades, after 12th, talented children have started considering colleges and universities of delhi and other cities as a better option for pursuing graduation. The reasons are obvious – lateness of sessions, absence of regular classes and lack of quality education. Along with the young men and women preparing for engineering, medical or UPSC entrance exams, the revenue opportunity also kept going away. If cities like Kota, Prayagraj, and Noida did not develop, the economy and infrastructure suffered losses.

What is the situation in Bihar?

Bihar is a state in india where most of the students are admitted to government colleges. 76 per cent of students get admission to 545 government colleges in bihar, whereas if we look across the country, 65 per cent of students get admission to private colleges. The average count of admissions in government colleges at the national level is only 709 while in Bihar it is the highest at 2088. Across the country, only in delhi, the situation is such that there are only eight colleges per one lakh population. Such a low count will be seen only in Bihar.

How many people attempt to pursue higher education is estimated by the gross enrollment ratio. In bihar, it is only 17.1 per cent. Women's participation in higher education is very low. nitish kumar may pat himself on the back by giving bicycles, but girls are still not reaching college after passing out from school. While the teacher-student ratio in colleges across the country is 23, in Bihar it is almost three times i.e. 64. These figures are also a little old because they have been taken from AISHE 2022.
