"Mizoram has achieved nearly full literacy (~98%), strong community engagement and small-scale school networks, though remote terrain still brings access challenges."
Mizoram has crossed the full literacy threshold (about 98.2%) under the ULLAS programme, driven by volunteer teachers, door-to-door outreach, strong public health, and local accountability. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} Education infrastructure is relatively dense, teacher-student ratios good in many districts, and enrolment across primary to secondary levels is high. Still, its remote villages contend with difficulties: steep terrain, transportation, and some gaps in connectivity and supplemental educational resources. Cultural cohesion and strong local government oversight help sustain outcomes.
Based on the above factors and the IQ test history, the average IQ in Mizoram is 95.
To maintain progress, Mizoram should continue investing in infrastructure in remote areas, enhance connectivity (internet, transport), and sustain teacher incentives in hill and tribal blocks. Remedial education for those who still lag, and strong early childhood programme coverage are essential. Community-driven models, leveraging local languages and cultural strengths, can ensure learning outcomes remain consistent across all districts, not just better served ones.
[ While IQ alone does not define the full range of human intelligence or potential. IQ is just one of many dimensions of human potential. ]
