DoE Mandates NIOS Enrollment for Twice-Failed Class 9 Students: Check Details

The Directorate of Education (DoE) has directed that government schools enroll pupils who have failed Class 9 twice in the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) for the 2024-25 academic year.

According to the Department of Education's Computer Cell data, 17,308 students were judged unsuccessful in Class 9 for the second time during the 2023-24 school year. Currently, only 6,200 of these kids are enrolling through the NIOS portal.

This initiative aims to reduce the high dropout risk among these students. The directive emphasises the need for government school heads to counsel students and their parents, highlighting the importance of continuing education through NIOS.

This flexible approach allows students to study at their own pace and select subjects of interest, with the goal of reintegrating them into their original schools upon completing Class 10.

The directive has received approval from the competent authority, underscoring the DoE's commitment to supporting all students in achieving their educational goals.
