Agenda Notes & Items: 1st General Body Meeting 1999

Abstract

Considerable progress has been made in reduction of Dropout and Gender Gap in Enrolment. A sample study conducted in the three blocks of Darrang district has shown Dropout has come down to 39.41% from 60% in the project starting year. The gender gap in enrolment has also been reduced by 0.46 only. However \he position with regard to gap between enrolment and attendance is still a major area of challenge Though there exists no systematic study on attendance, periodic school visit reports conducted by CLRG/BLRG confirm that on an average it is not above 60% of the enrolment figures.
