Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that educational facilities in the state are continuously expanding. Various schemes are being implemented to encourage students. In the past two years, the dropout rate has reduced from 21.4 percent to just 16.8 percent. Efforts should be made to reduce this even further. More students should be provided benefits of incentive schemes. In the past two years, high school and higher secondary second examinations were conducted and results were declared within the stipulated time as per the provisions of the National Education Policy 2020. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that efforts should be intensified to provide vocational education under the new education policy.
