The Union Ministry of Education has released the Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) 2025–26 Report, highlighting improvements in school education indicators such as teacher availability, enrolment, retention, digital infrastructure and gender representation across India.
Explanation:
- UDISE+ (Unified District Information System for Education Plus) is India’s largest school education database, managed by the Ministry of Education to collect annual data from recognised schools across the country.
- It provides comprehensive information on schools, teachers, students, infrastructure, enrolment, learning facilities and governance, helping in evidence-based policymaking.
- The system supports monitoring of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Samagra Shiksha, and progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 – Quality Education.
- Key educational indicators include Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), Pupil-Teacher Ratio (PTR), Dropout Rate, Transition Rate and Retention Rate, which measure access, participation and continuity in education.
- UDISE+ is also used for planning teacher deployment, improving school infrastructure, promoting digital education, ensuring gender equity and tracking inclusive education for children with disabilities.
