Universal Education implies creating universal access and opportunity for all children to receive education. Secondary education spreads over the ages of 15 and 16 years, and senior secondary over the ages 17 and 18 years. It serves as a link between the elementary and higher education, thus playing an important role.

Study by Galab et al. (2013) on primary education in Andhra Pradesh reveals that education officers in the state perceived that there is no gender discrimination in education but children of tribal communities and migrating labour are facing problems in having access to education. The officers observed that teacher absenteeism is higher in tribal areas and special training is needed for teachers in tribal areas. Vacant posts and inadequate support are the reasons for lack of monitoring mechanism affecting the governance.
