    India has made progress in education over the past decade. [1] Gross enrollment ratios have increased substantially from 1990 to 2006 at all levels of education - primary, secondary, and tertiary. [2] Primary completion rates have also risen and were at 86% in 2006, nearing the desired trend to reach the goal of universal primary education. [3] However, socioeconomic challenges remain, as millions of primary school-aged children remain out of school, adult literacy and gender parity goals have yet to be fully realized, and financing of the education system relies heavily on public spending.
