The condition of Delhi’s government schools, 17308 students failed in 9th for the second time, government is worried

17,308 students of Delhi government schools have failed in class 9 for the second time. Data from the computer cell of the Directorate of Education shows that during the session 2023-24, these students have failed in class 9 for the second time. Despite this, there are only 6200 students who are in the process of registration for further studies through the NIOS (National Institute of Open School) portal of the Directorate of Education. Which indicates the possibility of increase in the dropout rate.

Notification has already been issued for schools willing to admit students in class 10 through NIOS for the academic session 2024-25. But it is getting very less response. There are 903 such government schools, where there are 1 to 144 students who have failed twice in class 9.

DoE alert, parents will be counselled

The Directorate of Education itself has admitted that this figure is part of its ongoing efforts to reduce the dropout rate as there is a risk of discontinuation of education of those students who have failed twice in class 9. Regarding this, the Directorate of Education has asked to pay attention to all these students so that they do not leave their studies.

All the heads of schools have been asked to counsel these students and their parents so that these children can register for the NIOS school project to continue their studies and complete their studies through open school. Under this project, students can continue their education in the subjects of their choice so that they can pass the tenth class examination and once again come into the mainstream in their original school.
