Abstract: This research paper presents an analysis of the state of education in government schools in the state of Madhya Pradesh. It primarily focuses on analyzing data related to teacher availability, infrastructural status, changes in the number of schools, and the establishment of new schools in government schools (Primary, Middle, and Higher Secondary) in Madhya Pradesh from 2014 to 2024. The paper then concludes by offering potential solutions. As the economy of Madhya Pradesh is predominantly agricultural, the majority of its population largely relies on government schools for education. Therefore, the objective of this study is to present the positive or negative changes occurring in government schools in Madhya Pradesh. This is intended to draw attention to these changes, whether positive or negative, and pave the way for greater reforms in the education sector. The research paper utilizes data spanning approximately from 2014 to 2024. It provides an impartial analysis of various questions/issues using data, including changes in the number of schools (closures, mergers, opening of new schools), availability and recruitment of teachers, impact on the quality and access of education, teacher-student ratio, infrastructural status, and other major problems of government schools. The ultimate goal is to present a comprehensive picture of the state of education in government schools in Madhya Pradesh.
