In Manipur, 3.6 per cent of 1000 students assessed dropped out of school due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study by CRY-RILM..
Manipur among other Northeast states has the highest school dropout rate in the country at the primary level. The prevalence of HIV/AIDS is also comparatively higher in Manipur as per reports. However, social stigma associated with HIV/AIDS and school dropouts apparently diminished in the recent past.
The government with the initiative of School Fagathansi Mission has improved the education system in the state, S Rajen Singh said.
