State dedicated to bring back dropped-out children back to school: Maharashtra govt

The Maharashtra government will ensure that students who dropped out of school will return to mainstream education to finish their studies.

Maharashtra School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad has said that the state is going to make an attempt to bring back all those students into the mainstream that have dropped out of school for some reason or another during the pandemic. She said that the government was conducting a survey as to how many students in Maharashtra are currently out of school due to the pandemic and a plan was being worked out to bring them back into the stream of education. Varsha Gaikwad further said that any decision on reopening the educational institutions will be taken only after consultations and coordination with the state health department and reviewing the current Covid-19 situation thoroughly.
