In Tamil Nadu, more class IX, X Boys Quit School in 2019

Chennai: Of the 100 students join class I, only 68 reached the class XII in Tamil Nadu.
While 39% of boys left school before reaching a higher secondary, it was 25% for girls in 2019-20, according to the Integrated District Information System Report for Education Plus (Udise +).
From them, 13% of boys and 6% of girls came out in class IX and X.
Citing the Bay between basic and medium education and geographical and economic factors as reasons for high breaking, experts urged TN to identify problems Increase retention.
The teacher is worried that the dropout tariff can increase when the school returns post Pandemi because many students in class IX to XII work in downtown, companies, factories to support their families.
About 10 lakh students used to register in class I at TN before Covid-19 hit.
“If we have a large population of youth who do not complete secondary education, it will not be good for a larger community.
Considering a decrease in population growth, in the future, the number of school dropouts among teenagers will be a worrying factor.
The government must focus on maintaining students , “said Aruna Rathnam, a former education specialist with UNICEF.
The government must see the micro level to identify reasons for dropping out of school students.
“Usually, most girls enter class IX continue to finish class X and XII.
The government scheme for girls is between the reasons,” he said.
Tamil Nadu Graduate Federation Teacher Secretary General P Patric Raymond said many students found the revised syllabus difficult to enter class IX as syllabus, content and assessment differently compared to previous years.
“They need to remove the exam to go to the next class.
So, students, especially boys, feel easier to go to work,” he said.
Many work in stores, industries, factories and construction sites.
“Instead of giving 600 a day for adults, they employ children for 250-300,” he added added that the Labor Department had not monitored the shops, industries and other workplaces for child labor.
The Principal warned that a double increase in post-pandemic school drop out.
“If we reopen the school, we don’t know how many will return,” said a Peter King, the President of High School Tamil Nadu and the Association of Middle School Principal, added that more middle school and higher in rural areas were the key to improvement reasons Retention of female students.
A Devaneyan, an activist of the rights of children and director of Thozhamai, said that bringing the elimination of new child workers could be a solution.
“This law includes children up to 14 years, so those in class IX and X are employed.
The government must provide free and mandatory education up to 18 years in public schools.”
