"Arunachal Pradesh shows moderate literacy with scattered enrollment, but terrain, language diversity, and remote-village isolation reduce access and consistency of school delivery."
Arunachal Pradesh has literacy rates below many Indian coastal states, especially in remote districts where physical access to schools is difficult. Language diversity (multiple tribal languages), limited transport, rainy seasons, and steep terrain increase the cost and difficulty of delivering school and teacher services uniformly. Early childhood programs are often less accessible in remote villages, and retention declines in higher grades. The number of teachers willing to serve in remote areas is lower, and resources (books, labs, internet) are less reliable.
Based on the above factors and the IQ test history, the average IQ in Arunachal Pradesh is 97.
Improving learning outcomes in Arunachal Pradesh will require expanding early childhood coverage in remote areas, improving infrastructure (roads, transport, broadband), and ensuring teacher incentives for service in isolated districts. Multilingual curricular materials and culturally responsive pedagogy may improve attendance and learning. Nonacademic supports like healthcare, nutrition and community involvement are also crucial. With targeted funding and strong local community engagement, the state can make schooling more consistent and equitable across its diverse geography.
