&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;LUCKNOW: &lt;/em&gt;Right to free and compulsory education (RTE) has failed to ensure cent-percent enrolment of children in schools In UP. Of the 28 states, UP has the unique distinction of having the maximum out of school children aged between 6-14 years, including dropouts as well as children who have never attended school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) findings, published by NGO Pratham, brings to light that as many as 6.4% children (6-14 age group) do not go to school in UP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is followed by Meghalaya with 5.5% children being out of school. While Jharkhand and Assam share the third slot with 4.4% children staying home, 4.1% children in Odisha are out of school. States like Bihar and West Bengal shows 3.7% and 3.3% dropouts. Among the states that have least percentage of drop are Kerala (0.2%), Tamil Nadu and Tripura (0.6%), and Himachal Pradesh (1%)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The survey underscores that 11.5% of girls (age 11-14) in UP, remain out of school. The situation is alarming, more so because states such as Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand have shown a declining trend over the last six years but in UP, the number has remained relatively high, in fact, highest in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But for state government, reducing the dropout rate is far more important than to ensure all children in the state get elementary education. In order to boost the economy, the state government has set goal of reducing the dropout ratio in elementary education from the existing 11% to 5% by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Akhilesh government also aims at providing &#039;universal&#039; primary enrolment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Talking to TOI, ASER UP head, Ajit Solanki said, &amp;quot;The highest dropout here is either because people can&#039;t afford sending their children to private schools or they are unhappy with the government schools and prefer engaging their children in labour work at an early age.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the trend over time, the report shows that 78% children three years of age are not enrolled in a school or pre-school. This figure was 60% in 2006. The percentage of four years old children who have no access to school has risen from 45% in 2006 to 60% in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Govt school pupils pay extra for tuition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
LUCKNOW: The ASER findings show an interesting trend-lesser the enrolment in private schools, higher the number of children taking paid tuition classes. In other words, in states which have more children studying in government schools there is a higher number of tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fore example, in West Bengal, private enrolment is only 6.9% but as high as 73% children of age 6-14 attend paid tuition classes. In a sharp contrast, only 11.5% students take tuitions in UP where 48.5% children prefer to study in private schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tripura with the lowest private school enrolment has 70.3% children opting for paid tuition classes. Another example is of Bihar where private school enrolment is 6.4% but percentage of children going for tuitions is 50.2. In Odisha, where only 6.2% children go to private schools, 46.6% children take tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ASER 2012 survey also revealed that states with a large number of children studying in private schools, number of students attending tuition classes is far less. Haryana stands out with 49.2% private school enrollment, and only 13.4% children going for tuition classes. Rajasthan also has 41.1% children going to private schools and only 5% children taking tuitions.&lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;LUCKNOW: &lt;/em&gt;Right to free and compulsory education (RTE) has failed to ensure cent-percent enrolment of children in schools In UP. Of the 28 states, UP has the unique distinction of having the maximum out of school children aged between 6-14 years, including dropouts as well as children who have never attended school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) findings, published by NGO Pratham, brings to light that as many as 6.4% children (6-14 age group) do not go to school in UP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is followed by Meghalaya with 5.5% children being out of school. While Jharkhand and Assam share the third slot with 4.4% children staying home, 4.1% children in Odisha are out of school. States like Bihar and West Bengal shows 3.7% and 3.3% dropouts. Among the states that have least percentage of drop are Kerala (0.2%), Tamil Nadu and Tripura (0.6%), and Himachal Pradesh (1%)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The survey underscores that 11.5% of girls (age 11-14) in UP, remain out of school. The situation is alarming, more so because states such as Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand have shown a declining trend over the last six years but in UP, the number has remained relatively high, in fact, highest in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for state government, reducing the dropout rate is far more important than to ensure all children in the state get elementary education. In order to boost the economy, the state government has set goal of reducing the dropout ratio in elementary education from the existing 11% to 5% by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Akhilesh government also aims at providing &#039;universal&#039; primary enrolment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking to TOI, ASER UP head, Ajit Solanki said, &amp;quot;The highest dropout here is either because people can&#039;t afford sending their children to private schools or they are unhappy with the government schools and prefer engaging their children in labour work at an early age.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the trend over time, the report shows that 78% children three years of age are not enrolled in a school or pre-school. This figure was 60% in 2006. The percentage of four years old children who have no access to school has risen from 45% in 2006 to 60% in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Govt school pupils pay extra for tuition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LUCKNOW: The ASER findings show an interesting trend-lesser the enrolment in private schools, higher the number of children taking paid tuition classes. In other words, in states which have more children studying in government schools there is a higher number of tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fore example, in West Bengal, private enrolment is only 6.9% but as high as 73% children of age 6-14 attend paid tuition classes. In a sharp contrast, only 11.5% students take tuitions in UP where 48.5% children prefer to study in private schools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tripura with the lowest private school enrolment has 70.3% children opting for paid tuition classes. Another example is of Bihar where private school enrolment is 6.4% but percentage of children going for tuitions is 50.2. In Odisha, where only 6.2% children go to private schools, 46.6% children take tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ASER 2012 survey also revealed that states with a large number of children studying in private schools, number of students attending tuition classes is far less. Haryana stands out with 49.2% private school enrollment, and only 13.4% children going for tuition classes. Rajasthan also has 41.1% children going to private schools and only 5% children taking tuitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Table I.

&lt;em&gt;LUCKNOW: &lt;/em&gt;Right to free and compulsory education (RTE) has failed to ensure cent-percent enrolment of children in schools In UP. Of the 28 states, UP has the unique distinction of having the maximum out of school children aged between 6-14 years, including dropouts as well as children who have never attended school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) findings, published by NGO Pratham, brings to light that as many as 6.4% children (6-14 age group) do not go to school in UP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is followed by Meghalaya with 5.5% children being out of school. While Jharkhand and Assam share the third slot with 4.4% children staying home, 4.1% children in Odisha are out of school. States like Bihar and West Bengal shows 3.7% and 3.3% dropouts. Among the states that have least percentage of drop are Kerala (0.2%), Tamil Nadu and Tripura (0.6%), and Himachal Pradesh (1%)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The survey underscores that 11.5% of girls (age 11-14) in UP, remain out of school. The situation is alarming, more so because states such as Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand have shown a declining trend over the last six years but in UP, the number has remained relatively high, in fact, highest in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But for state government, reducing the dropout rate is far more important than to ensure all children in the state get elementary education. In order to boost the economy, the state government has set goal of reducing the dropout ratio in elementary education from the existing 11% to 5% by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Akhilesh government also aims at providing &#039;universal&#039; primary enrolment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Talking to TOI, ASER UP head, Ajit Solanki said, &amp;quot;The highest dropout here is either because people can&#039;t afford sending their children to private schools or they are unhappy with the government schools and prefer engaging their children in labour work at an early age.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the trend over time, the report shows that 78% children three years of age are not enrolled in a school or pre-school. This figure was 60% in 2006. The percentage of four years old children who have no access to school has risen from 45% in 2006 to 60% in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Govt school pupils pay extra for tuition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
LUCKNOW: The ASER findings show an interesting trend-lesser the enrolment in private schools, higher the number of children taking paid tuition classes. In other words, in states which have more children studying in government schools there is a higher number of tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fore example, in West Bengal, private enrolment is only 6.9% but as high as 73% children of age 6-14 attend paid tuition classes. In a sharp contrast, only 11.5% students take tuitions in UP where 48.5% children prefer to study in private schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tripura with the lowest private school enrolment has 70.3% children opting for paid tuition classes. Another example is of Bihar where private school enrolment is 6.4% but percentage of children going for tuitions is 50.2. In Odisha, where only 6.2% children go to private schools, 46.6% children take tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ASER 2012 survey also revealed that states with a large number of children studying in private schools, number of students attending tuition classes is far less. Haryana stands out with 49.2% private school enrollment, and only 13.4% children going for tuition classes. Rajasthan also has 41.1% children going to private schools and only 5% children taking tuitions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;LUCKNOW: &lt;/em&gt;Right to free and compulsory education (RTE) has failed to ensure cent-percent enrolment of children in schools In UP. Of the 28 states, UP has the unique distinction of having the maximum out of school children aged between 6-14 years, including dropouts as well as children who have never attended school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) findings, published by NGO Pratham, brings to light that as many as 6.4% children (6-14 age group) do not go to school in UP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is followed by Meghalaya with 5.5% children being out of school. While Jharkhand and Assam share the third slot with 4.4% children staying home, 4.1% children in Odisha are out of school. States like Bihar and West Bengal shows 3.7% and 3.3% dropouts. Among the states that have least percentage of drop are Kerala (0.2%), Tamil Nadu and Tripura (0.6%), and Himachal Pradesh (1%)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The survey underscores that 11.5% of girls (age 11-14) in UP, remain out of school. The situation is alarming, more so because states such as Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand have shown a declining trend over the last six years but in UP, the number has remained relatively high, in fact, highest in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But for state government, reducing the dropout rate is far more important than to ensure all children in the state get elementary education. In order to boost the economy, the state government has set goal of reducing the dropout ratio in elementary education from the existing 11% to 5% by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Akhilesh government also aims at providing &#039;universal&#039; primary enrolment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Talking to TOI, ASER UP head, Ajit Solanki said, &amp;quot;The highest dropout here is either because people can&#039;t afford sending their children to private schools or they are unhappy with the government schools and prefer engaging their children in labour work at an early age.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the trend over time, the report shows that 78% children three years of age are not enrolled in a school or pre-school. This figure was 60% in 2006. The percentage of four years old children who have no access to school has risen from 45% in 2006 to 60% in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Govt school pupils pay extra for tuition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
LUCKNOW: The ASER findings show an interesting trend-lesser the enrolment in private schools, higher the number of children taking paid tuition classes. In other words, in states which have more children studying in government schools there is a higher number of tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fore example, in West Bengal, private enrolment is only 6.9% but as high as 73% children of age 6-14 attend paid tuition classes. In a sharp contrast, only 11.5% students take tuitions in UP where 48.5% children prefer to study in private schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tripura with the lowest private school enrolment has 70.3% children opting for paid tuition classes. Another example is of Bihar where private school enrolment is 6.4% but percentage of children going for tuitions is 50.2. In Odisha, where only 6.2% children go to private schools, 46.6% children take tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ASER 2012 survey also revealed that states with a large number of children studying in private schools, number of students attending tuition classes is far less. Haryana stands out with 49.2% private school enrollment, and only 13.4% children going for tuition classes. Rajasthan also has 41.1% children going to private schools and only 5% children taking tuitions.&lt;br /&gt;

Of the 28 states, UP has the unique distinction of having the maximum out of school children aged between 6-14 years, including dropouts as well as children who have never attended school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) findings, published by NGO Pratham, brings to light that as many as 6.4% children (6-14 age group) do not go to school in UP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is followed by Meghalaya with 5.5% children being out of school. While Jharkhand and Assam share the third slot with 4.4% children staying home, 4.1% children in Odisha are out of school. States like Bihar and West Bengal shows 3.7% and 3.3% dropouts. Among the states that have least percentage of drop are Kerala (0.2%), Tamil Nadu and Tripura (0.6%), and Himachal Pradesh (1%)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The survey underscores that 11.5% of girls (age 11-14) in UP, remain out of school. The situation is alarming, more so because states such as Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand have shown a declining trend over the last six years but in UP, the number has remained relatively high, in fact, highest in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for state government, reducing the dropout rate is far more important than to ensure all children in the state get elementary education. In order to boost the economy, the state government has set goal of reducing the dropout ratio in elementary education from the existing 11% to 5% by 2017.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Akhilesh government also aims at providing &#039;universal&#039; primary enrolment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking to TOI, ASER UP head, Ajit Solanki said, &amp;quot;The highest dropout here is either because people can&#039;t afford sending their children to private schools or they are unhappy with the government schools and prefer engaging their children in labour work at an early age.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the trend over time, the report shows that 78% children three years of age are not enrolled in a school or pre-school. This figure was 60% in 2006. The percentage of four years old children who have no access to school has risen from 45% in 2006 to 60% in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Govt school pupils pay extra for tuition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LUCKNOW: The ASER findings show an interesting trend-lesser the enrolment in private schools, higher the number of children taking paid tuition classes. In other words, in states which have more children studying in government schools there is a higher number of tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fore example, in West Bengal, private enrolment is only 6.9% but as high as 73% children of age 6-14 attend paid tuition classes. In a sharp contrast, only 11.5% students take tuitions in UP where 48.5% children prefer to study in private schools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tripura with the lowest private school enrolment has 70.3% children opting for paid tuition classes. Another example is of Bihar where private school enrolment is 6.4% but percentage of children going for tuitions is 50.2. In Odisha, where only 6.2% children go to private schools, 46.6% children take tuition classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ASER 2012 survey also revealed that states with a large number of children studying in private schools, number of students attending tuition classes is far less.

UP tops the chart of school dropouts -Isha Jain

-The Times of India LUCKNOW: Right to free and compulsory education (RTE) has failed to ensure cent-percent enrolment of children in schools In UP. Of the 28 states, UP has the unique distinction of having the maximum out of school children aged between 6-14 years, including dropouts as well as children who have never attended school. The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) findings, published by NGO Pratham, brings to light that as many as 6.4% children (6-14 age group) do not go to school in UP. This is followed by Meghalaya with 5.5% children being out of school. While Jharkhand and Assam share the third slot with 4.4% children staying home, 4.1% children in Odisha are out of school. States like Bihar and West Bengal shows 3.7% and 3.3% dropouts. Among the states that have least percentage of drop are Kerala (0.2%), Tamil Nadu and Tripura (0.6%), and Himachal Pradesh (1%) The survey underscores that 11.5% of girls (age 11-14) in UP, remain out of school. The situation is alarming, more so because states such as Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand have shown a declining trend over the last six years but in UP, the number has remained relatively high, in fact, highest in the country. But for state government, reducing the dropout rate is far more important than to ensure all children in the state get elementary education. In order to boost the economy, the state government has set goal of reducing the dropout ratio in elementary education from the existing 11% to 5% by 2017. The Akhilesh government also aims at providing 'universal' primary enrolment. Talking to TOI, ASER UP head, Ajit Solanki said, "The highest dropout here is either because people can't afford sending their children to private schools or they are unhappy with the government schools and prefer engaging their children in labour work at an early age.'' Looking at the trend over time, the report shows that 78% children three years of age are not enrolled in a school or pre-school. This figure was 60% in 2006. The percentage of four years old children who have no access to school has risen from 45% in 2006 to 60% in 2012.   Govt school pupils pay extra for tuition LUCKNOW: The ASER findings show an interesting trend-lesser the enrolment in private schools, higher the number of children taking paid tuition classes. In other words, in states which have more children studying in government schools there is a higher number of tuition classes. Fore example, in West Bengal, private enrolment is only 6.9% but as high as 73% children of age 6-14 attend paid tuition classes.
