Avoiding the
unethical practices of encouraging and sponsoring the bright children to the

should support the children for their continuation in the Government
institutions rather than suggesting the parents for their children enrollment

Commissionerate of School Education saying that Headmasters are sponsoring
certain bright students to the corporate/ private institutions for
consideration. This must be stopped at once and any deviation will be viewed
seriously. All the DEOs are requested to focus on this issue.

High Schools (class VII/ VIII to VIII/ IX): The DISE data pertaining to 2015-16 shows that
about 92 to 95% of transition of students from Primary to Upper Primary. This
shows that some children are leaving Government schools or dropping out.

Schools duly tracking the dropouts. Therefore, every Headmaster of feeder
Primary School shall physically take the children to the nearby Upper Primary/
High Schools under Government management with list of children and their TCs and
