Detailed Solution

Thirty-one per cent of children drop out of school at the primary level. At the elementary and secondary levels, 52% and 63% of children drop out, respectively. In these figures, there are differences based on sex and caste. The dropout rate increases from boys to girls. In both sexes, the dropout rate increases from scheduled castes to scheduled tribes. This is because of economic and social factors affecting children's access to education. Children drop out of school due to poverty and discrimination. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes live in conditions of poverty and discrimination. Girls are in a position of a more significant disadvantage than boys.
