DoE requires twice-failed Class 9 pupils to enroll in NIOS

For the 2024–25 academic year, government schools are required by the Directorate of Education (DoE) to enroll pupils who failed Class 9 twice in the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS).

Data from the DoE's Computer Cell indicates that 17,308 students in Class 9 were deemed unsuccessful for the second time in the 2023–24 academic year. Just 6,200 of these kids are enrolled through the NIOS site at this time.

The goal of this program is to lower the significant dropout risk that these pupils face.

The regulation underscores the necessity for heads of government schools to guide both parents and students, stressing the value of continuing education via NIOS.

To reintegrate students into their original schools after Class 10, this flexible approach enables students to study at their own pace and choose courses of interest.

The competent authority has approved the order, demonstrating the DoE's dedication to helping every student meet their learning objectives.
