22 thousand students fell in state government schools, read what could be the reason

With the return of large numbers of migrants during the Corona period, the expectation of increasing student numbers in government schools did not rise. Student numbers continued to decline this year instead of increasing student numbers in the basic and junior classes. This year more than 22 thousand students have been reduced.

It is definitely that for the last three years, where more than thirty thousand students were falling every year. This year their number has been reduced by seven thousand. According to government sources, the latest figures of Mid Day Meal have revealed a fresh picture of student numbers. This year, from the first to the eighth grade, six lakh 67 thousand 297 students are registered. Whereas last year this number was more than 6.89 lakhs.

Despite the large number of migrants, education officials are also troubled by the decline in student numbers. A senior official said that many families have also visited Uttarakhand during the Koreana period. Many of these children attended government schools in the state. The admission process has also been affected this year due to Corona. This can also be a reason.

2019-20 6,89,437

The Corona period has affected all areas. The government is trying to get government schools to regain their old glory. Resources are being developed for this. A special budget has been made for furniture, toilets, reconstruction etc. in schools. I sincerely hope that the picture will definitely change.
