Centre to Launch Pilot Programme Connecting Out-of-School Adolescents to Open School Initiatives

A new initiative has been launched aimed at identifying and addressing the needs of out-of-school children aged 14 to 18. This program will incorporate a mobile application that facilitates comprehensive mapping of this demographic across various regions. The initiative will also implement monitoring systems to track the progress of enrollment and retention in educational programs.

In addition, the program is set to introduce incentive mechanisms to encourage school attendance and engagement, providing support for both students and families. District-level convergence strategies are also planned to ensure collaboration among local agencies, educational institutions, and community organizations. This multi-faceted approach aims to create a more robust support system for at-risk youth, ultimately contributing to improved access to education and a reduction in dropout rates nationwide.
