Explanation:

The Rajasthan state has recorded an enrolment of 13 lakh students in government schools in the 2021-22 academic session.

This is the highest ever enrolment in Rajasthan’s government schools.

This has taken the total enrolment to almost 1 crore against 87 lakh in the 2020-21 academic year.

The state of Rajasthan is among the few in the country that offers free education in government schools.

The situation in several schools has come to a level where they have refused admission to students due to running full capacity.

The rise in figures in government schools clearly means that fall of numbers in private schools.

In 2019-20, the official figures say that enrolment in private schools were 81 lakhs while in the government schools were 85 lakh in 2019-20.

Enrolment figures of private schools in October was around 65 lakh.

As an assistant professor at Rajasthan State Council ofEducational Research & Training (RSCERT), Udaipur puts it, it indicates that lakhs of students from private schools have shifted to government schools.
