Worst Covid effect yet? Children dropping out of school in droves

[JackSeal]

The increasing dropout rate, mainly of students from classes 6 to 10, is being blamed on the worsening financial condition of their parents due to the pandemic’s impact. The problem is being reported across Karnataka and the country. But the State Government has only now begun conducting surveys to understand its magnitude. The State has 78,424 schools (primary and secondary), of which 22,419 are in urban areas and 56,005 in rural areas, admitting over 80 lakh students.
