💨 Abstract

The Union Ministry of Education has reported a decline in enrolment for classes 1 to 8 in government schools across 13 states and Union Territories, with Uttar Pradesh seeing the most significant drop of over 28 lakh students last year. This drop is attributed to reverse migration following the COVID-19 pandemic and students returning to private institutions due to financial constraints. The ministry has asked the affected states to implement corrective measures.
