Campaign to enroll all out-of-school children in school in Parsa

While 13 per cent children in Parsa are still out of school education, the Parsa District Education Office has initiated a campaign to ensure enrollment of all children in school education.

A special door-to-door campaign has been initiated to bring the out-of-school children to enrollment, District Education Officer Pramodh Kumar Saha told RSS.

Most of the out-of-school children belong to disadvantaged and marginalized families.

Out of total 150,000 school-age children who are out of school in the district, around 19,000 belong to Dalit community. Nepalnews.com
