BMC schools provide facilities, but not quality education: Praja Foundation survey

As per the survey, both dropout and enrolment rates in municipal schools have decreased. The dropout rate for 2016-17 is 8 per cent as compared to 15 per cent last year. While, enrolment in 2016-17 is 3.43 lakh students as compared to 3.83 lakh students last year. The report mentioned that the corporation has shifted focus on improving basic education.

Nitai Mehta, founder of Praja, said, “In an attempt to provide facilities and high-end technology the basic focus on improving quality of education is lost. The civic body is providing 27 items for free. Tabs, virtual classrooms and other facilities are good but it should also concentrate on quality of education.”
