A significant indicator of the effectiveness of Kerala's education system is its remarkably low student dropout rate, reflecting successful retention strategies and engaging learning environments.
This success extends to ensuring equitable access and participation for diverse groups, evidenced by the higher percentage of girl, Scheduled Caste (SC), and Scheduled Tribe (ST) students actively enrolled in schools and colleges.
To further advance educational standards, the state has launched key initiatives such as 'Vidya Kiranam,' a flagship program under the broader Nava Kerala Mission, aimed at bringing substantial improvements across the educational landscape.
This mission builds upon the groundwork laid by earlier programs like the 'Pothu Vidyabhyas Samrakshana Yajnam,' which championed the protection and enhancement of public education, illustrating a sustained and evolving commitment to educational excellence in Kerala.
