Abstract:

This paper analyses the impact of Educational Infrastructure on the Gross Enrollment Ratio of Upper-secondary Students in Government Schools by Analysing the UDISE Report of 2021-22 to identify the facility with the highest impact. Previous research has proven that education spending by the State and Central governments affects the States' educational outcomes. Among 17 major states of India, Bihar has spent a higher share of its GSDP on education between 2012-16. Less than 3% of the GSDP is allocated to education in the remaining states. The growth in education spending has been appalling, particularly since the Right to Education (RTE) Act. The states with an average expenditure of 2% are Uttar Pradesh (2.5%), Chhattisgarh (2.2%), and Madhya Pradesh (2%). Despite this active involvement in Education spending, certain factors play a more important role than others in determining educational outcomes. In this paper, the impact of infrastructure on the gross enrollment ratio was analysed.
