If enrolment in KGBV increases but girls are dropping out midway, what should be the main evaluation focus?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Girls’ retention rate and analysis of the reasons for dropout
Higher enrolment indicates access, but girls who leave school midway show whether the programme is actually sustaining their education. Therefore, evaluation should focus on the retention rate and on analysing causes of dropout, such as family responsibilities, safety concerns, distance, or financial difficulty. A high number of new admissions alone does not prove success. Exam tip: distinguish enrolment (entry) from retention (continuing in school).
