"Uttar Pradesh has raised enrolment and transition rates significantly, but infrastructure deficits, teacher shortages and dropouts remain major obstacles to consistency."
Uttar Pradesh has achieved a high transition rate from Class 10 to 12 (around 76.7%), above national average, signalling improvements in retention. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7} However, many schools lack essential infrastructure: data show gaps in internet access, science labs, functional toilets and qualified teachers in remote districts. Socioeconomic and health challenges, large variation across districts, and underfunding of education vis-à-vis state GDP further limit readiness. Rural and less privileged areas suffer most from absenteeism and lower facility standards, reducing learning opportunity for many children.
Based on the above factors and the IQ test history, the average IQ in Uttar Pradesh is 90.
To raise readiness across Uttar Pradesh, policies must prioritize school infrastructure upgrades, teacher deployment and retention, especially in remote districts. Expanded early childhood education, health, and nutrition supports, and targeted dropout prevention programmes are essential. Digital learning and remedial programs should be scaled, and funds disaggregated by district. Ensuring equity in funding, improving basic amenities in schools, and monitoring outcomes closely can help ensure all students benefit, not only those in well-resourced areas.
