The Jharkhand government plans to initiate a child register survey aimed at identifying school dropouts and children currently out of the education system.
The Jharkhand government is set to launch a dedicated child register survey with the primary objective of identifying children who have dropped out of school and those who are currently out of the education system. This initiative is designed to create a comprehensive database of children who are not enrolled in formal schooling.
The survey will focus on pinpointing the specific locations and demographics of these out-of-school children to facilitate targeted interventions. By mapping the scale of dropout rates, the state aims to address the root causes preventing these children from accessing education.
This move aligns with broader national efforts to ensure universal elementary education and reduce the number of children left behind by the school system. The data collected through this register will serve as a critical tool for policy formulation and resource allocation in the state's education sector.
