The Education department has launched an intensive drive to enhance the states gross enrolment ratio (GER) from 14.5% to 30% by the end of the decade.
The states GER would be equal to the national Average (27.1%) soon as the results of the sincere efforts being made by the government have already started bearing fruit. The states GER has increased from 13.6% to 14.5% in just one year.
The government has already decided to open eight new model degree colleges in different areas of the state for promoting quality education. Four of these have been set up in Gaya, Araria, Katihar and Purnia and sites for the remaining are being identified.
