To monitor the dropout situation of the students, an initiative is being launched jointly by the Secondary and Basic Education Departments of Uttar Pradesh.

The initiative will be implemented across all 75 districts to ensure that all successful students of class 08 get enrolled in class 09 to continue their education, including students from government schools, government-aided and unaided organizations.

The decision was taken by the Uttar Pradesh govt. to monitor the rising counts of students' dropping out and put a stop it. As per the initiative, the principals of around 55,000 upper-primary schools will assemble a list of class 08 pass-out students of their respective establishments and also mark details to know that how many of them have taken admission in class 09. The principals, as well as the Department of Basic Education, will provide the list/ information to DIOSs (District Inspectors of Schools) which in turn will provide this information to the camp office of the Secondary Education Department.

The departments then will analyze the data and prepare a plan to make those students get admission into class 09.

One of the main causes behind the termination of students' education is that class 09 onwards the cost of the school fee, books, bags, uniforms, etc. has to be arranged by the parents since the education up to class 08 is free under the Right to Education.
