Male literacy in Umar Bagga stands at 70.7 percent, which is notably higher than the district male average (67.97 percent) by 2.73 points.

Educational Attainment Figures
- Primary but below Matric: 170 males and 106 females
- Matric but below Degree: 52 males and 46 females
- Degree and above: 17 males and 14 females
These statistics demonstrate reasonable educational participation considering the village’s small population size. The data shows 106 women completing primary education, 46 reaching matriculation, and 14 achieving degree-level qualifications. The transition from 106 at primary to 46 at matric shows expected attrition during the critical middle school years.
The presence of 14 female degree holders in this relatively small community represents meaningful achievement in Umar Bagga. The gender ratio at degree level, with 14 females compared to 17 males, shows remarkably balanced representation at the tertiary tier. This near parity at the highest educational level indicates that women who pursue higher education receive adequate support and face manageable barriers, resulting in strong female representation among university graduates despite the challenges encountered at earlier educational stages.
