A study is underway into reasons for student dropout and how to improve the overall quality of school education, a Delhi government official has said. The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) is conducting multiple research projects. One of the key areas being examined is the impact of Right to Education (RTE) entitlements with a focus on the PM Poshan scheme, according to an SCERT official.
The Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN) scheme, which provides hot meals to students in government and government-aided schools, is linked to reducing school dropout rates.
