<h1>India Sees 10.9% Rise in Female Literacy; Initiatives Aim to Boost Education Standards and Future Employment.</h1> Female literacy in India has improved significantly, with a 10.9% increase compared to a 5.6% rise in male literacy, according to Census 2011. The Beti Bachao Beti Padhao initiative aims to enhance female education and address declining figures through societal awareness. Despite efforts like the Right to Education Act and Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan, India's education standards remain below global benchmarks. Challenges persist in post-secondary education and skill development, particularly for the 15-18 age group. Initiatives like Padhe Bharat Badhe Bharat and various school schemes aim to improve literacy and teacher education. The higher education sector, among the world's largest, needs alignment with future employment trends.
