In the PARAKH National Assessment Survey 2024, done by the Ministry of Education under the National Education Policy, Uttar Pradesh has shown a big improvement. This year, UP jumped from 32nd position to the top 10 in India. This shows that the education system in both government and private schools is getting better.
The survey tested students of classes 3, 6, and 9 in subjects like language, mathematics, social science, and science. Students in class 3 in UP did better than the national average. Students in class 6 did almost the same as the national average. Students in class 9 still need more support and improvement.
UP students scored 68 marks in Class 3 language, which is higher than the national average of 64.. In math, UP students scored 64, and the national average is 60. These scores show that children in early classes are learning well in Uttar Pradesh.
In class 6, UP students scored 55 in language, while the national average is 57. In math, UP scored 45, and the national score is 46. In social science, UP got 48, and the national score is 49. This means class 6 students are close to the national level and are learning well.
In class 9, students need more help. In language, the national score is 54, but UP got 48. In math, the national score is 37, and UP scored 34. In science, UP scored 38, and the national average is 40. In social science, UP got 34, and the national score is 40. These numbers show that older students need more attention.
This survey was held on 4 December 2024 in 8,865 schools in UP. It included government, private, CBSE, ICSE, aided madrasas, and Navodaya schools. Around 2,53,720 students took part. This shows a clear picture of how students are learning at UP.
The Ministry of Education will announce the full results on 2 July 2025 in Delhi. Then all states will know how well their students are doing.
Ms. Kanchan Verma, Director General of School Education in UP, said that the good results happened because of hard work by teachers and many helpful programs. She said programs like Operation Kayakalp, NIPUN Bharat Mission, teacher training, and regular tests helped students do better. Additional guidance and special support classes greatly improved student learning.
In UP’s government schools, teachers are doing special work like teaching at the right level, group meetings, remedial classes, and monitoring to help students who are weak in their studies. These steps are helping students improve.
Some districts have done well in the survey. Kasganj, Shamli, Auraiya, Ambedkar Nagar, and Mahoba emerged as the top-performing districts in Class 3.
In class 6, the best-performing districts are Kanpur Nagar, Kasganj, Shamli, Aligarh, and others. In class 9, the best districts are Varanasi, Kanpur Nagar, Ayodhya, Shamli, and Prayagraj. These areas are showing that good results can come from cities and small towns with good teaching and planning.
Many special programs helped this success. Operation Kayakalp improved school buildings, classrooms, clean toilets, water, and electricity. These clean and nice schools help children learn better. NIPUN Bharat Mission helps small children in classes 1 to 3 to read well and solve easy math problems.
Teachers are also trained to teach better. They attend training workshops, cluster meetings, and online programs to learn new methods. If students are weak, teachers give them remedial or support classes after school so they can catch up.
Schools are also doing regular tests to check how students are doing. This helps teachers find weak areas and improve their teaching. Parents also get feedback.
PARAKH means Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development. It is a national test to see how much students in India are learning. It checks language, math, science, and social science. This test helps the government know which states are doing well and which subjects need more attention.
This survey is very important for UP. In 2021, UP’s students scored below the national average. But in 2024, UP is now in the top 10 states. This is a big change and very good news. UP is a large state with many students and schools. This improvement shows that if schools and the government work together, big progress is possible.
Other states can also learn from UP. With good plans, trained teachers, and early help, student learning can improve. UP now has new goals.
The next goals are:
Help students in classes 6 and 9 score higher than the national average.
Focus more on subjects like math, science, and social science.
Continue training teachers and checking student progress.
Introduce smart classrooms, use digital tools for learning, and provide online support for both students and teachers.
The results of the PARAKH Survey 2024 show that hard work, teamwork, and good planning can make government schools better. From clean schools to better teaching, everything matters. Students from villages and cities are now getting better chances to study and succeed.
The final results will be shared on 2 July, but UP already has a reason to feel proud. Moving from rank 32 to the top 10 is not just a number. It shows real change in schools, classrooms, and in the future of education in Uttar Pradesh.
