Education in Rajasthan

The education system in Rajasthan is one of the fastest growing in the country. The government of Rajasthan is pulling all strings to improve the existing system and is thus building new schools and colleges across various cities of Rajasthan. A majority of the population in Rajasthan consists of tribes and lives in villages. Therefore it was indeed a difficult task for the government authorities of Rajasthan to spread the word of education in the state. Both the Central and the State government representatives have been working hard for the last couple of years to encourage more and more people in Rajasthan take up education so that they may be able to earn a living for themselves. It is for their constant efforts that the rate of literacy in Rajasthan as per the census reports of 2011 has increased considerably to 67.06%.

Primary and Secondary Education in Rajasthan



Even few years ago, the state of education in Rajasthan was in a very bad condition.

The government then introduced programs to spread literacy in all parts of Rajasthan, especially in the remote tribal areas. Education of the girl child is another program introduced by the Rajasthan government. For that purpose, more and more schools have been built in the state.

The Indian School Certificate Examination (ICSE) and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) are the two syllabuses followed in Rajasthan schools.
