Abstract: Abstract Paper focuses upon various facets of educational growth in the state of Punjab. Attempt is to build a critical perspective on educational growth story of state so as to indentify actionable points. Both census and survey data have been used to assess the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of educational build up. Analysis proceeds by exploring overall progress, gaps, and imbalances in educational growth in both absolute and comparative contexts in inter-temporal and inter-spatial manner. Composite picture has been developed by comparing and contrasting the educational growth across regions, neighboring states, subregions, sexes, locations, age cohorts, and other relevant social and economic categories. Inner dynamics of educational progress has been captured by collating vital educational indicators such as examination results, learning outcomes, education levels, and non-completion rates, etc. The analysis shows that education sector of state demands far more serious policy attention than hitherto in order to address quality and quantity concerns.
