Government Schools in Bihar Cancel Enrollment of Over 2 Million Children
In a major development in Bihar, the government has canceled the enrollment of 2,369,980 children from government schools. The majority of these children, a total of 1,909,160, belong to grades 1 to 8, while the remaining 460,820 are from grades 9 to 12. The Bihar Education Department, under the orders of the Additional Chief Secretary, K.K. Pathak, is closely monitoring the attendance of children in government schools to ensure their presence.
Strict Actions Taken Against Absenteeism in Bihar Schools
The names of children who have been absent from school for three consecutive days are being noted, and those who have been absent for 15 consecutive days are having their names struck off. This action is being taken because there is suspicion that many children have enrolled in multiple places and have already taken advantage of government schemes by gaining admission to government schools.

In terms of districts, the highest number of enrollments canceled is in East Champaran with 146,434 children, followed by West Champaran with 139,598.
