Enrolment of students at pre-primary level, class 1 down by 29.1 lakh and 18.8 lakh respectively in 2020-21 from 2019-20, but dropout rate at primary & secondary levels has reduced.

New Delhi: The Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting school closures have impacted the enrolment of students at the pre-primary (nursery, KG) and Class 1 level, data released by the Ministry of Education shows. However, the overall dropout rate at primary and secondary levels has come down.

As per the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) 2020-21 data released Wednesday evening, the enrolment of students at the pre-primary level and class 1 has gone down by 29.1 lakh and 18.8 lakh respectively in 2020-21 from 2019-20.

“Although the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is cross-cutting, [that] this is particularly noticed in the enrolment of young and vulnerable kids like pre-primary, Class 1 and Children With Special Needs (CWSN) may be attributed to postponement of admissions due to Covid-19,” the report said. 

The UDISE report captures comprehensive data relating to school education, including the enrolment numbers, drop-out numbers, and number of teachers, and also monitors infrastructure in schools.
