Bhubaneswar: Taking note of the prolonged absence of the students of Class IX and X since the reopening of physical classes, the Odisha government has stepped up measures to ensure zero dropouts.
Sources in the School and Mass Education department said while the reopening of the primary and upper primary schools has not been decided, a bulk of students of Class IX and X have remained absent from the physical classes that have reopened since February 8 and January 8 respectively.
Concerned over the absence of these students, the department has begun a ground study to ascertain the cause.
A senior official of the department told the media on condition of anonymity that as the primary and upper primary schools have remained closed since March last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no decision has been taken so far for the reopening of these schools.
He said as there is a possibility that some primary and upper primary students might give up their study in the midway, instructions have been given to the headmasters, Cluster Resource Centre Coordinators (CRCCs) and Block Education Officers (BEOs) to ensure that there will be no dropout.
