NEW DELHI:
Comprising more than 13% of Indian population, Muslim enrolment at the primary level (class I-V) was a meagre 9.39% while in upper primary (class VI-VIII) it was 7.52% in 2006-07.
The data of Muslim enrolment in schools (http://www.addyoururl.org/index.php?search=schools), collected for the first time, only confirms what the Sachar Committee report indicated about their educational status.
The survey, conducted by the National University of Educational (http://www.addyoururl.org/index.php?search=+Educational) Planning and Administration (NUEPA) for HRD ministry, shows that in Muslim-dominated states like UP, Bihar, West Bengal and Kerala, the community needs a giant leap to make it to the mainstream. Assam, J&K, Andhra Pradesh and to some extent West Bengal are the only exceptions.
