Enrolments in government schools have, meanwhile, gone up by 8% — from 21.78 lakh in 2020-21 to 23.6 lakh in 2021-22.
GURUGRAM: School enrolment numbers for the 2021-22 session in Haryana have set off alarm bells. More than 12 lakh students registered with private schools last year have disappeared from the radar.
The sharp plunge showed up in data on the state government’s MIS portal, where all enrolled students are registered. There are just 17.31 lakh students enrolled at private schools this session, according to this data, which was released by the directorate of school education. This is a sheer 42% drop from 29.83 lakh in 2020-21.
