The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has launched a strategic initiative to re-enroll approximately 2 crore out-of-school children (OOSC). This drive aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and aims to address the dropout rate in India, where only 62 out of 100 students reach Class 12.
The initiative targets adolescents aged 14-18 who dropped out due to financial constraints, domestic responsibilities, or early entry into the workforce. The long-term goal is to achieve 100% Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) from pre-school to secondary level by 2030.
