Increased literacy in women
According to ASER (Annual Status of Education Report) 2024, there has been a lot of change in the education level of mothers in the last eight years. In 2016, 46.6% of mothers who never joined schools have come down to 29.4% in 2024. Government officials believe that this change is the result of the successful efforts of ‘Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’, which was launched in 2001-02.
The level of studies after 10th increased in women
But this change has not only been seen in the number of school going mothers, but also in their level of education. In 2016, only 9.2% of mothers studied after 10th, which has now increased to 19.5% in 2024.
Kerala is at the forefront of the states, where the biggest increase of this change has been seen.

Mothers’ education affects children
According to official sources, today’s young mothers started going to school when the level and enrollment of education under ‘Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’ was increasing. This also has a positive effect on children’s education. It is clear from these figures that when the mother is more educated, its effects are also good on children’s education. Research has proved that the education of mothers can bring significant improvement in children’s education and their results.
