The Karnataka government has announced a scheme to enrol 64,573 students who have dropped out of school to sit for the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examinations.
The Karnataka government has unveiled a new initiative to enrol 64,573 school dropouts for the upcoming Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examinations. The move aims to provide a second chance to students who left school before completing their secondary education.
Under the scheme, eligible dropouts will receive support in the form of study materials, coaching sessions, and counselling to help them prepare for the SSLC exams. The education department has set up dedicated centers across the state to facilitate the enrolment process.
Officials say the programme will not only improve individual prospects but also contribute to the state’s overall educational attainment. The government expects that many of the enrolments will lead to higher pass rates and better employment opportunities for the participants.
The initiative is part of Karnataka’s broader effort to reduce dropout rates and promote inclusive education. The state will monitor the progress of the enrolled students and provide additional resources as needed.
