There are also disparities between urban and rural areas, with the literacy rate for urban areas being 84.7% and the literacy rate for rural areas being 66.2%. Finally, there are disparities between different tribal groups, with some groups having literacy rates that are much higher than the state average, while others have literacy rates that are much lower.<\/p>\n<p>The disparities in literacy rates in Meghalaya are due to a number of factors, including poverty, lack of access to education, and gender inequality. Poverty is a major obstacle to education, as many families cannot afford to send their children to school. Lack of access to education is also a problem, as there are not enough schools in some areas, and the quality of education in some schools is poor. Gender inequality is another factor that contributes to the disparities in literacy rates, as girls are often less likely to be enrolled in school than boys.<\/p>\n<p>The government of Meghalaya has taken a number of steps to address the disparities in literacy rates, including providing free education to all children, building more schools in rural areas, and improving the quality of education. However, more needs to be done to ensure that all children in Meghalaya have access to quality education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on
