🎓 A Parent's Quick Overview of Education in Madhya Pradesh
With 1,32,456 registered schools spread across 55 districts and 413 administrative blocks, Madhya Pradesh operates one of the largest schooling networks in the region.
If you are planning your child's admission, here is how the system works. Most government schools here are run directly by the Madhya Pradesh Department of Education.

Looking for free admission? Under Section 12(1)(c) of the RTE Act, private schools in Madhya Pradesh must reserve 25% of their starting seats for children from economically weaker (EWS) or disadvantaged backgrounds. The state coordinates this via an online lottery admission system each year, making it possible for local kids to get free quality private education.
