Chhattisgarh reports a 21% dropout rate after Class 8, which means one in every five children drops out after elementary education. This is much higher than the national average of 17%. This figure further rises among the tribal communities, particularly Scheduled Tribe students where one in every 4 children drop out after Class 8.
90% of elementary schools in Chhattisgarh state are in rural areas, only around 54% of the children manage to finish their school education.
