A is true.
- A: True — school attendance and enrollment in India have risen in recent years (driven by policies like the Right to Education Act, mid‑day meals, and expansion of schools), though quality and dropouts remain concerns.
- B: False — India’s overall literacy rate is well below 90% (around mid‑70s percent by the last national census estimates).
- C: False — Pakistan has much lower secondary‑age attendance rates; well under 95% of students remain in school past age 15.
- D: False — across South Asia male literacy rates are generally higher than female rates, so women do not have higher literacy throughout the region.
