The Story in Brief
A parliamentary panel has found that nearly 73% of students drop out before completing higher secondary education. The panel has also called for a single regulatory framework to govern all 65 education boards under the new National Education Policy.

The Indian Opinion
A 73% dropout rate before Class 12 is a national emergency, yet the debate fixates on renaming Kerala or tweaking board structures. The real test is whether the new unified regulatory framework under NEP can reach the child who leaves school because of poverty, not policy. Watch for this: does the government budget for mid-day meals and toilets rise along with board reforms?
