Steep decline in enrolment of students in government schools has resulted in closure of hundreds of government schools across the country over the past decade, said G. Viswanathan, founder and chancellor, VIT, on Sunday.
In his presidential address at the scholarship distribution event organised by Universal Higher Education Trust (UHET) of VIT University in its campus here, he said that students are increasingly shifting to private schools that has left many government schools with poor enrolment of students. “In numerical terms, around 94,000 government schools have been closed across the country in the past decade. In Tamil Nadu, around 210 government schools were shut in the same period,” he said.
