Context & shortfalls
Secondary GER covers Classes 9–10 (age 14–15). Rapid rise from ~47% (2004) to ~80% (2023) reflects Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA, 2009) and continued expansion of secondary school infrastructure. GER can exceed 100% due to over-age and under-age enrolments. Improvement in access has not been matched by learning outcomes — ASER surveys consistently show only ~43% of Class 5 rural children can read a Class 2 text.
