School students’ enrolment dips by 3.7mn in 1 year: Edu ministry

Hindustan Times  

Though India witnessed an increase of over 5,000 schools from 1.466 million in 2022-23 to 1.471 million in 2023-24, the enrolment of school students has declined by over 3.7 million from 251.7 million to 248 million in the same period, according to the UDISE-plus data released by the education ministry. The analysis of UDISE plus reports between 2022-23 and 2023-24, shows that the enrolment declined marginally across gender groups, social categories, and education levels. “With effect from UDISE+ 2022-23, data fields are completely aligned with the recommendations of NEP 2020,” the education ministry stated in its UDISE plus 2023-24 report. “The zero-dropout rate at foundational level is mainly due to admission of students from Anganwadi, standalone private pre-primary school directly to class 1 in recognized schools,” the ministry said in its UDISE plus 2023-24 report.
