`Three lakh children still out of school'
By Our Special Correspondent
BANGALORE,
MARCH 8.
The Minister of State for Primary and Secondary Education, B.K. Chandrashekar, has said that about three lakh children in the 6 to 14 age group are still out of school in the State.
Addressing a delegation of students of the University of Texas, here on Monday, Prof. Chandrashekar said the number of children out of school two years ago was nearly six lakh.
The State Government implemented a number of programmes to bring children back to school and three lakh children had been enrolled.
Efforts were on to bring the remaining children to school in another six months, he added.
A major challenge before the Government was to retain the children in school.
A number of children dropped out of school due to poverty and lack of encouragement.
