Ministry of Education to release report on Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) 2020-21

The Ministry of Education (MoE) will be releasing a detailed report on Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) 2020-21 on school education of India.
In the year 2018-19, the Department of School Education and Literacy developed the UDISE+ data collection system for schools to overcome the problems associated with the previous practice of manually filling data in paper format and feeding it onto computers at the district or block level through UDISE since the year 2012-13.

There have been improvements in the UDISE+ system, especially in the areas of data capture, mapping, and verification.

Students and teachers in schools:
In 2020-21, total students enrolled in school education from primary to higher secondary stood at 25.38 crore. There is an increase of 28.32 lakh enrolments as compared to the 25.10 crore enrolment in 2019-20.

The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) which measures the general level of participation, has improved in 2020-21 at all levels of school education compared to 2019-20.
