About This Data
Gender Parity in Secondary Education: Kerala at Full Equality
The State-wise Gender Parity Index (GPI) in secondary school enrolment shows that Kerala has achieved perfect gender balance, with a GPI of 1.0. This indicates equal participation of boys and girls at the secondary level, reflecting the state’s long-standing commitment to inclusive and equitable education.
While several states have also reached parity, and some have marginally higher female enrolment, Kerala’s consistent performance stands out due to its sustained investment in public education, high literacy levels, strong school infrastructure, and effective social development policies. The achievement underscores Kerala’s model of balanced human development, where gender equality in education is not just a target but an established reality.
