School enrolment fell by 37 lakh in 2023-24: Education ministry data

The Hindu  

The Ministry of Education’s data has showed that enrollment in schools across India fell by 37 lakh in 2023-24 compared to the previous year. The Unified District Information System for Education Plus is a data aggregation platform maintained by the education ministry to collate school education data from across the country. The student-wise data helps identify 'ghost students', and aids in transferring benefits to the deserving students, resulting in savings to government and good governance by way of better expenditure management, they said. "Individual student-wise data reflects a realistic and more accurate picture of the education system, which is being attempted for the first time at the national level, marking a departure from the school-wise consolidated data collected till 2021-22.
