They are doing fairly well, although the schools
in Northeast are not educationally advanced. We
see population from the Northeast among the educated
middle classes in cities like Mumbai, Delhi etc.
Assam is not doing too well. But if you look at
smaller states Nagaland , Mizoram, Manipur are
doing quite well. They have a large proportion
of private and government schools.
Within the range of states of India, they are
not above average neither they have highly quality
education. I wouldn’t say that they are
any more backward than the rest of the states
or even more advanced than any other states
In Arunachal Pradesh the problems are quite different,
the population is spread out in the hilly areas.
In this case we have to start looking at different
models and schooling efforts. For example in deserts
of Australia, the houses are miles apart and how
do they provide education. We can use that at
Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh.
