NEW DELHI: The education department of the Delhi government noted that the government has not yet formulated any policy for the dropout students.
Reportedly, the information was that Delhi government has started working on a new policy for school dropouts, where NGOs and corporate houses were likely to be roped in by the government to run special training centres for school dropouts and prepare them for age-appropriate mainstream formal education.
The Department has clarified that this year, the government has no such plans to set up separate classed for boys and girls in 34 delegated zonal study centres for the dropout students of class IX and X. On April 4, Millennium Post carried a story with the headline "Delhi govt to formulate policy for school dropouts", where the above information was mentioned.
"The information is factually incorrect. No such policy has been issued," noted the Department.
