It is a link between secondary and higher education after which specialisation in the fields of education starts. It is a post-Secondary education. To provide it, a number of schemes, policies, programs have been framed from time to time by the government. Action plan included gender sensitisation to minimise the gender gap in educational attainment spatial disparities and in sequence monitored at various levels from time to time with the help of public and private agencies. Nonetheless, gender disparities are nearly universal in terms of educational attainmentat each level. In the present study, Senior Secondary education has been selected as focus.
