Pillar: Education & Training
In Idukki, 24.1% of girls aged 15 to 21 are out of education, better than the typical district. 99.8% of schools have a functional girls' toilet. The Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya exists to pull girls back into schooling and keep them there with residential support.
76% of registered enterprises are in services while 24% are in manufacturing. Only 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Higher secondary enrollment (classes 9–12) is 147%, likely reflecting students enrolling from neighbouring areas. Only 17% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Idukki, which ranks 10 of 15 in Kerala for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 54.6 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on secondary school enrolment in classes 9 to 12 at 81.9%, while it lags on women's freedom of movement at 24.1% and women who own a house at 15.1%.
