CAG uncovers gaping holes in Odisha’s school education system

Bhubaneshwar, Dec 9 (UNI) The objective of universal access to school education was not achieved in Odisha due to dropout of students at different levels of education. Though there was improvement in infrastructure facilities in Government schools, large numbers of schools were still functioning without the prescribed infrastructure.
Teachers, who play a pivotal role in the schooling system, were not available in schools according to norms, hampering the quality of education in government and government aided schools, according to the latest 'Performance Audit on School Education in Odisha' conducted by Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).
The coverage of the audit was from 2018-19 to 2022- 23 to assess whether universal access to school education was made available to all children, quality of education was ensured at all learning levels and monitoring and evaluation of varied aspects of implementation were effective in bringing timely corrective measures.
