Abstract : Evidence suggests that a country's economic growth prospects improve if its workforce is well educated and talented. Therefore, it is reasonable to assert that education increases the productivity of both the general populace and the working class, thereby increasing the purchasing power of consumers and stimulating economic growth. Workers with secondary or higher education levels can be easily retrained to meet the changing demands of the global economy. Across all sectors of national productivity, secondary school is now the largest provider of working people. This research looks at the development of secondary and higher education in a Delhi slum and discusses the problems and opportunities now facing Delhi's secondary school system. There is an upward tendency in both the gross enrolment ratio and the total number of students enrolled in secondary and upper secondary institutions. Gender equality has improved, especially at the level of education measured by the GPI. While improvements have been made in secondary and post-secondary education, they have not kept up with the rate at which they are needed.
