Education forms the foundation of every society, and the quality of education imparted in educational institutions should elevate any nation. Education plays a decisive role in shaping the future of a country and meeting its growing demands, thereby creating a healthy and progressive society. It is noticed that every government makes consistent efforts for the promotion of the whole development of its future citizens. However, one of the main obstacles to ensuring that every Indian has access to education is the country's persistently high dropout rates. The current study explores the possible reasons for dropouts and suggests solutions to curb this menace. This study was carried out in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) with a sample size of 80 teachers from three categories of schools, namely, government schools, private schools, and non-profit schools. This study revealed that government schools have higher dropout rates in comparison to other schools.
