A survey conducted by the Haryana School Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad (HSSPP) has identified 29,097 schoolchildren (aged 7 to 14 years) across the state, who have quit studies due to various reasons.
According to the survey, conducted from February 22 to March 15 this year, most of the dropouts are children of migrant labourers or come from economically weaker sections of society.
Nuh district has the maximum dropouts (8,671). Mahendragarh is the only district with no dropout. The HSSPP has begun efforts to bring these children back to mainstream by establishing 1,164 special training centres (STCs) across the state. Their parents will also be motivated to continue sending their children to the STCs and later schools for further education, sources say.

As per HSSPP norms, education volunteers will impart special training to such children for nine months. After completing bridge course and acquiring grade-level competence, they will be mainstreamed in their age-appropriate class by February 2022. Every STC will accommodate maximum 25-30 dropouts. The special training centres will be setup on government school premises. — TNS
