424 students drop out of government schools in Trichy district; 35 re-enrolled
Out of 424 school dropouts in Trichy district, 35 students have been brought back to school, with efforts continuing for the rest.
School Education Department officials in Trichy district reported that 424 students have dropped out of government schools during the current academic year. So far, 35 of these students have been successfully re-enrolled.
The dropouts were identified across 16 blocks, including Thottiyam, Manikandam, Thuraiyur, Lalgudi, and Manapparai. Key reasons for leaving school included migration, poverty, parents' health issues, and a lack of interest in continuing education.
Teachers are actively working to bring these students back. If a student is absent for a week, teachers visit their homes to explain government schemes and encourage them to return to the classroom.
