How does India's school-going population look like? Most go by foot, and Mathematics remains one of the hardest subjects - across all classes. India Today breaks down the NAS survey in 9 graphics.
The National Achievement Survey-2021 has revealed that at least 48% of Indian children have to walk to school. (Illustration by Rahul Gupta)
The majority (48%) of kids in India walked to school, 9% used transport provided by the school and 9% used public transit. Of the 29% who used private transport, 18% rode a bicycle to school, 8% used a two-wheeler and only 3% used a 4-wheeler.
87% of schools said they provide the provided guidance on how parents can support children in learning, and 25% said they lacked parents' sup port in student's learning.
70% of Indian schoolchildren said they had lots of time to learn new things during online classes, but 78% of schoolchildren also found the online learning process tedious because of too many assignments.
80% of Indian schoolchildren felt they learned better in physical school with the help of their peers than they did during online classes. 38% of schoolchildren said they faced difficulty in learning at home during the pandemic
48 per cent of Indian children walk to school and 78 per cent found online learning burdensome. In the recently released National Achievement Survey (NAS)-2021 conducted by the Ministry of Education looked at different parameters of how Indian schoolchildren feel about school.
96% of Indian schoolchildren said they liked going to school, and 94% said they felt safe in school.
78% of kids speak the same language both at home and school. The 78% Indian schoolchildren attend a school where the language is spoken is the same as the one spoken at home.
89% of Indian schoolchildren share the lessons they are taught in school with their family members.
85% of Indian schoolchildren engage with additional educational material by reading/watching other than the assigned textbooks.
72% of Indian schoolchildren said they have access to digital devices at home. The 24% said they did not have a digital device at home to attend online classes.
This nationwide survey was administered by the CBSE in one single day at the same time on November 12, 2021. The report is based on the performance in all subjects through disaggregation by gender (female, male), area (rural and urban), management of schools (government, government-aided and private unaided) and social groups (schedule caste (SC), schedule tribe (ST), other backward communities (OBC) and general).
The survey had a sample size of 34 lakh students in classes 3, 5, 8 and 10 with the objective of evaluating children’s progress and learning competencies covered subjects like Language, Mathematics and EVS for Classes 3 and 5; Language, Mathematics, Science and Social Science for Class 8 and Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Science and English for Class 10. The main highlight from the subject-wise understanding of the survey found that the learning levels (achievements) of students drop as they progress to a higher class.
But other than subject-wise learning at school, the survey conducted in 720 districts from both rural and urban areas found some other interesting factors. Here's how India went to school broken down in 9 graphic cards.
(The survey covered government, government-aided and private schools. The achievement tests along with the questionnaires were developed and translated into 22 different languages by the National Council of Educational Research and Training)
