DoE urges government schools to enroll twice-failed Class 9 pupils in NIOS in 2024-25.
Only 6,200 of 17,308 qualified students are presently enrolled. Schools will coach children and parents on the significance of continued education.

The Directorate of Education (DoE) has directed that government schools enroll pupils who have failed Class 9 twice in the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) for the 2024-25 academic year. According to the Department of Education’s Computer Cell data, 17,308 students were judged unsuccessful in Class 9 for the second time during the 2023-24 school year. Currently, only 6,200 of these kids are enrolling through the NIOS portal.

This effort tries to minimize the high dropout rate among these kids. The directive emphasizes the need for government school heads to counsel students and parents, as well as the importance of continuing education through NIOS. This flexible method allows children to study at their own speed and choose courses of interest, with the goal of reintegrating them into their old schools after Class 10.

The directive has been approved by the appropriate authorities, demonstrating the DoE’s commitment to assisting all students in reaching their educational goals. The National Institute of Open Schooling has designed a curriculum which helps the struggling students to identify the challenging aspects and identify the simpler and easier ways to learn.  The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), originally known as National Open School (NOS), was created as an autonomous organization in November 1989 by the Ministry of Education (MOE), Government of India, in accordance with the National Policy on Education 1986. NIOS offers a variety of vocational, life enrichment, and community-oriented courses in addition to general and academic courses at the secondary and senior secondary levels.
