Mission Edu-Reach – Concept for Self Study Class for Students std V to XII

Concept: Introduction

In India, drop out ratio of school going children up to 10^th class is about 20%. These are all from underprivileged society.

Some of the reasons why students are dropping out from school are …..

1. As most of the families are living in below poverty, they cannot afford their education and study.

2. They are forced to work for agricultural or domestic services.

3. These 10^th class students even cannot read the books of 7^th class as these students are not focusing on their homework self-study on their own at home after coming from the school.

4. Even their parents do not pay any attention and care for their homework and study.
