Tamil Nadu Government Schools Need Revival Plan Amid Falling Enrolment

Many of Tamil Nadu's government primary schools have fewer than 30 pupils, with over 246 closed due to low enrolment.

Falling enrolment is attributed to demographic shifts and parental preference for private schools offering perceived advantages like English-medium instruction.

The state needs a revival plan, including a School Viability Index and federated school networks, rather than immediate closures.
