Source summary
Develop tools addressing school dropout risk, especially in marginalised communities. Source-proposed approaches include AI alerts from attendance, grades and behaviour; community tutoring/mentoring hubs; personalised mobile learning with offline access; financial-aid management; and parent-teacher communication. Further options cover evening/part-time schooling schedules and enrolment, plus counselling, motivation and academic goal tracking. These are alternative interventions under NEP 2020’s retention objective, not a single mandated product or proven reduction in dropout.
