The recently released 2019-20 UDISE+ report highlights the stark differences between the Urban & Rural schools and between Government & Private schools in digital infrastructure. Multiple studies have highlighted that the pandemic induced lockdown has exacerbated the condition of students in such schools. In continuation to our earlier story on data from UDISE+ reports, we look at the availability of infrastructure services in schools across rural/urban locations, types of management and states. The UDISE (Unified District Information System for Education) is one of the largest Management Information Systems on school education. It covers more than 15 lakh schools, 85 lakh teachers and 25 crore school children. In our earlier story, we elaborated how UDISE+ data indicates that while physical infrastructure has improved in schools across states over the last few years, the status of digital infrastructure is poor. UDISE+ data presents the availability of physical and digital infrastructure in schools run by different managements, especially government, government-aided and private unaided. The School Management code for a specific school is assigned based on its management and provision of Government Aid. The schools are categorised as Government (includes State Government, Local Body and Central Government), Government Aided (Privately managed but Government provides aid) and Private Unaided (managed by individual or a group of individuals (trusts, society, or corporation) and not receiving any aid from Government. ‘Others’ category refers to schools that do not fall in the options given i.e., recognised and unrecognized madrasa and unrecognised private schools. Unrecognized refers to Schools that have no recognition from the government. The majority of schools are run by government, followed by private schools. According to the UDISE+ data for 2019-20, government-run schools form the majority (68.5%) of total schools for elementary, primary, and secondary education. Private unaided schools form the other significant proportion (22.4%) of total schools. Government-aided schools (5.6%) and other schools (3.5%) form small proportions out of the total schools. Private Schools outperform Government schools in the availability of functional electricity, playground, internet, and computer facilities. According to the UDISE+ data for 2019-20, private unaided schools have better facilities than government schools in critical digital infrastructural facilities. Urban schools outperform rural schools in the availability of functional electricity, playground, internet, and computer facilities. According to the UDISE+ data for 2019-20, schools in urban areas have better infrastructural facilities as compared to schools in rural areas. Especially in terms of digital infrastructure facilities, the gap between schools in urban and rural areas is significant. Schools in Northeastern states report the lowest access to functional electricity, followed by Odisha, J&K. While access to electricity in schools has improved significantly, schools in Northeastern states fall behind in terms of access to functional electricity. Schools in Northeastern states report the lowest access to WASH facilities, followed by Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, UP, Bihar. WASH is an acronym that stands for “water, sanitation and hygiene”. WASH facilities include the availability of clean water (drinking water), toilets/washrooms, and handwash. Schools in Northeastern states fall behind in terms of access to WASH facilities. Schools in Northeastern states report the lowest access to and digital infrastructure, followed by Bihar, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal. In our previous story, we elaborated on how the proportion of schools with internet facilities remains low at 22.3% in 2019-20, despite improvements in the previous years. School closure due to pandemic exacerbated by infrastructure gaps. There exists a gap between access to physical infrastructure and digital infrastructure by location, state and management type. While government-run schools form the majority (68.5%) of total schools, Private unaided and Government aided schools perform relatively better than government schools in most infrastructural indicators such as functional electricity, playground, internet, and computer facilities. Schools in urban areas outperform schools in rural areas in most infrastructural indicators such as functional electricity, playground, internet, and computer facilities. A majority of Northeastern states and populous states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, among others reported relatively low access to physical infrastructure facilities like functional electricity, availability of clean water, washroom and handwash facility.
