Abstract

Elementary education is the most important stage in the learning process. Elementary education constitutes the base for
supporting the whole edifice of education. It is absolutely essential that a strong foundation for education is given at this
stage. Due to a number of problems and disturbed conditions prevailing in the Jammu and Kashmir State, the progress of
elementary education is not satisfactory which requires priority for attention. Some of these problems are low enrolment
and participation of girls, education of disadvantaged groups and lack of physical infrastructure. The people in faraway
places like Ladakh still engage their daughters in domestic affairs instead of sending them to school. The state which is
lagging behind in the field of education as compared to many other states of the same nature needs to be uplifted for the
future prosperity of the country. The task of providing compulsory education does not end with enrolment; it is essential that
every child participates in the educative process to the required extent and acquires minimum level of learning. The intent
of the present research paper is to highlight the school participation and academic success rate of boys and girls at the
elementary school level.
