Private পড়া ছাত্রছাত্রীর সংখ্যা সবথেকে বেশি পশ্চিমবঙ্গে
See the ASER 2022 REPORT
Perhaps due to the economic stress of the pandemic period, there has been a shift from private schools to government schools. But at the same time, the percentage of children in both government and private schools who go to private tutors has gone up in all states.
That is, nearly a third of all rural children going to government and private schools are now also going to private tutors. This is highest in West Bengal (73.9%) and Bihar (71.5%), which are also the states that have nearly the lowest incidence of family education (in West Bengal only 13.8% of fathers and 13.7% of mothers have education up to STD X; the corresponding numbers for Bihar are 18.4% and 10.8% respectively.)
