Elementary Education in India : Analytical Report
Primary and 0.687 (rank 13) at Upper primary level.
Despite Kerala doing well in other sets of indicators, the
state is not well placed with regard to access indicators.
May be the state has achieved the goal of universal
access and does not need more schools to open. Access
index of Tamil Nadu is also low (EDI, 0.505 and 0.605)
first at Upper Primary level. Further, it has been observed
that like other groups of states, namely, north-eastern
and smaller states, the EDI values of major states in
access indicators is far below than that of the other sets
of indicators which is by and large true for both Primary
as well as Upper Primary levels of education.
