With a moderate increase in dropout rate of students during the year 2020 due to the pandemic and in order to address the issue, Department of School Education has extended the timeline for admissions to all classes up to August 13.
In this regard, DoSE has informed that it would be organising a “special admission drive” from July 5 to August 13.
Therefore, DoSE has directed school heads to contact parents/guardian of dropout students with the help of teachers/NGOs/student bodies/Church leaders and encourage admitting their children to appropriate classes and resuming of schooling.
The department also requested the cooperation and support of public leaders/NGOs/student bodies/Church leaders in creating awareness among parents of dropout students in this regard and to assist them in getting their children admitted at nearest government schools.
