UP students best in country
NEW DELHI: One of the most comprehensive surveys of the learning
achievements of Std V students shows that Uttar Pradesh children have
outclassed their counterparts from the rest of India.
The study, undertaken by the NCERT, has revealed that the mean
achievement of Uttar Pradesh students in language (71.12%) and
mathematics (72.89%) is the highest in the country, while in
environmental studies, Mayawatis state (67.15%) is behind the topper,
Tamil Nadu (72.30%).
In comparision, Maharashtra has performed the best in language
(63.87%), followed by environmental studies (57.81%) and mathematics
(57.70%). But a key feature of the performance in the state is that
rural children have outshone their urban peers in mathematics.
However, in all respects the performance of girls, rural children and
percentage of students getting more than 80%Uttar Pradesh has
outscored the rest.
UP boys and girls equally good
The NCERT survey of class V students, carried out between March and
May 2010 under the direction of Avtar Singh, head of department of
educational measurement and evaluation, tested over one lakh children
in language, mathematics and environmental studies in 31 states and is
more exhaustive than Prathams Annual Status of Education Report. The
NCERT followed the internationally-recognised principle of Item
Response Theory (IRT) in which a student is graded on each item asked
rather than on a total test. The last such comprehensive survey was
conducted in 2006-07 but IRT was not followed. The HRD ministry has
decided to make the survey a regular affair.
In language, students were asked questions based on comprehension and
also asked to identify, evaluate and interpret a text. In maths, they
had to do subtraction based on the decimal system and answer questions
on geometry and number system. In environmental studies, questions
were asked on health and economic problems.
In mathematics, UP is followed by Karnataka (61.53%), Delhi (58.89%),
JK (58.4%), Madhya Pradesh (58.68%), West Bengal (57.74%) and Orissa
(56.02%). In language, Tamil Nadu (65.89%) follows UP. West Bengal
(64.29%), Karnataka (61%) and Delhi (59.89%) are the others that have
done well in language. In environmental studies, Karnataka ranks third
with a mean score of 66.59%. Students from MP (58.85%), West Bengal
(58.75%) and JK (58.45%) have also fared well. The mean percentage of
Bihar students stands at 49.4% in mathematics, 45.47% in language and
47.44% in environmental studies.
Girls have outperformed boys in Daman and Diu, Delhi, Goa, Mizoram,
Kerala and Puducherry. In case of UP, the performance of boys and
girls has been at par. In mathematics, the mean percentage of boys is
73.34%, while it is 72.49% in case of girls. A similar marginal
difference can be seen in the other two subjects too.
