Concrete measures needed to address mass dropouts
Learning recovery and mental health should be priority
A government report has revealed that the dropout rate of girls at the secondary level stands at 42 percent. It is higher than the dropout rate of boys at secondary level, which is 33.43 percent. When the overall secondary school dropout rate has been declining, this high dropout rate of girls is worrisome.
Grade eight students accounted for almost half of those who dropped out at the secondary level in the country last year.
