Govt Withholds AISHE Data for Years, Hindering Policy-Making
The government is keeping important education reports secret for three years.
These reports show how many students are in school, what kind of schools they go to, and other important information.
This makes it hard for experts and state governments to make good decisions about education.
Some people think fewer students are going to school now than before.
Government has not released AISHE reports for 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25
Reports provide crucial data for policy-making, including enrolment, infrastructure, and foreign students
Last released report was for 2021-22, published in January 2024
Experts and state governments urge timely release of reports
Indications show a dip in overall enrolment in higher education
