As per a situational analysis of enrolment numbers, back in 2016 the enrolment figure was 1.52 crore all across the state for both primary and upper primary schools. Before 2016, the state witnessed a downfall of 22 lakh students in the last five years due to migration from government to private schools. In the last one year prior to 2016, the state lost 5 lakh students and this became a matter of grave concern for the state.
Collective actions, agendas & initiatives like School Chalo Abhiyan came into limelight along with the idea of digitalized classrooms thereby showing a ‘trend reversal’ in the subsequent year leading to an increase of 2 lakhs students bringing the total enrollment figure of 2017 to 1.54 crores.
The enrolment figure of the current academic year is 1.57 crores and is a remarkable growth in terms of impact that has been created in the state and the efforts of teachers in order to bring this kind of change is commendable.
