What are the findings of AISHE 2020-21 on higher education of the Muslim community?<\/h2>\n

Dismal enrolment ratio<\/strong>: The enrolment of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in higher education was improved by 4.2%, 11.9% and 4%, respectively, compared with 2019-20. But, the Muslim community\u2019s enrolment declined by 8%.<\/p>\n

This might be partially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic poverty, which forces talented students to pursue earning opportunities after schooling.<\/p>\n

Highest declining states<\/strong>: The most drastic decline was reported from Uttar Pradesh (36%), followed by Jammu and Kashmir (26%), Maharashtra (8.5%) and Tamil Nadu (8.1%).<\/p>\n

Best performer<\/strong>: Kerala is the only State breaks the above trend. Here, 43% Muslims go for higher education.<\/p>\n

Communities coverage of higher education<\/strong>: The OBCs accounts for 36% of the total enrolment in higher education in the country. The SCs bring up another 14%. The two communities cover nearly 50% of the seats in universities and colleges.<\/p>\n

But the Muslim community accounts for only 4.6% higher education enrolment though the community\u2019s share in the country\u2019s population stands at over 14%.<\/p>\n

For example, in Delhi, every fifth Muslim student failed to enrol for higher education after completing the Senior School Certificate Examination and in Uttar Pradesh, where Muslims are about 20% of the population, the community\u2019s enrolment for higher education stands at a mere 4.5%.<\/p>\n

Gradual upliftment of women<\/strong>: Muslims and other minorities have more female students than male students, pointing to a gradual uplift of the women of the minority communities.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: This also signifies the pressure to earn at the earliest among the male members of the community.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lack of Muslim teachers<\/strong>: At an all-India level, teachers belonging to the General Category account for 56% of all teachers. OBC, SC and ST teachers make up another 32%, 9% and 2.5% of the teachers, respectively. Muslims constitute only 5.6% of the teachers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
