Odisha Secondary to Higher Secondary Student Transition Rate Declines, CAG Report Finds
A Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report tabled in the Odisha Legislative Assembly reveals a significant decline in the transition rate of students from secondary to higher secondary levels. The report indicates that approximately 30% of students are unable to make this transition, either by dropping out or failing to qualify. This decline contrasts with national trends, with Odisha's enrollment and net enrollment rates also falling below the national average during 2022-23. The CAG noted that reasons for this decline were not analyzed by the relevant department.
