Officials told to focus on dropouts integrated into schools

Principal Secretary, School Education, Praveen Prakash on Friday directed officials of the department to ensure that children integrated into schools under the special enrolment drive should write their final exams.

He pointed out that due to the relentless efforts of the officials, there was a marked improvement which saw the department enter the final phase of the Mission Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for the academic year 2023-24. “It is crucial that all students who were reintegrated into schools this year through a special drive must appear in their annual examinations. Only then can we consider our goal as achieved,” he said.

He wanted the officials to closely monitor, follow up each student and make sure that every student enrolled by the School Education department took the final assessment examination.
