Private unaided schools enrol 67.5% of students in Nagaland, 62.7% in Manipur and 60.8% in Telangana, against 7.1% in West Bengal, 12.0% in Goa and 12.7% in Bihar. Across all states and territories the share is 36.8%, up from 31.9% in 2022-23, and it rose in every state and territory.
Policy implication Government-aided schools are privately managed but publicly funded and are not counted as private here, so a low share can mean a large aided sector rather than a large government one. The two-year rise is large and the source does not say how much of it is a change in the schools or in how they were counted.
