by M.I.M. Azhar, Maligaikadu Gr Cor
The Sainthamaruthu Divisional Secretariat has decided to compile a
database on school drop-outs in the area.
All principals of schools have been requested by the Divisional
Secretary, A.L.M. Saleem to provide information in this regard.
It has been assured that drop-outs who had left school due to poverty
will be absorbed into schools again so that they can continue their
education.
It has been found that school-leavers of over 17 years of age are
engaged in self-employment ventures and training programs which are
essential for their livelihood.
