ASER 2024: Telangana Faces Foundational Learning Gaps

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The Annual Status of Education Report 2024, released on Tuesday, has revealed that Telangana has achieved near-universal level enrollment for certain age groups. In Classes VI to VIII, the report found, only 46.4 per cent of students could read a Class II text, and 34.7 per cent could do divisions. In Telangana, 96 per cent of households reported smartphone availability, but only 78 per cent of the children could bring one to complete digital tasks and 73 per cent could use it independently. More than 80 per cent of students reported using social media, but only 67 per cent knew how to block or report a user, and just about 60 per cent could change a password. Student and teacher attendance in Telangana, at 73.5 per cent and 85.5 per cent respectively, is consistent with national averages, though multi-grade classrooms remain common and pose challenges to effective learning.
