NIOS and Odisha Govt Partner for Out-of-School Students
Some kids in a place called Odisha couldn't go to school or had to leave.
A special school program called NIOS is teaming up with the Odisha government to give these kids another chance.
They will help them finish their middle and high school education in a way that's easier for them.
This program will work in areas where many kids have stopped going to school.
The goal is to help these children catch up, feel good about learning, and have a better future.
NIOS and Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) have signed an MoU to support out-of-school children.
The initiative aims to offer a second educational opportunity for dropouts and out-of-school children in Odisha.
The program will enable students to complete secondary and senior secondary education through a flexible learning mode.
It will focus on districts within Odisha that have high dropout rates.
The partnership intends to re-integrate deprived learners into the mainstream education system and empower them for a brighter future.
