Out of 424 students who dropped out of government schools in Trichy, 35 have been readmitted; efforts continue for the rest.
In Trichy district, 424 students have dropped out of government schools during the current academic year. So far, 35 of these students have been successfully readmitted.
School education department officials identified poverty, migration, parents' health issues, lack of income, and exam anxiety as key reasons for the dropouts. Teachers are visiting the homes of students who remain absent for a week to explain government schemes and encourage them to return to school.
Efforts are ongoing to trace the remaining students and bring them back to the classroom. Authorities are also considering providing vocational training for those who are not interested in traditional schooling.
