The National Council of Educational Research and Training’s Minority Cell has begun its annual review process, focusing on key educational challenges including school accessibility for minority students, dropout rates, and the effectiveness of teacher training programs. The first meeting of the 2026-27 session aims to assess progress and identify gaps in ensuring equitable education for marginalized communities. Officials are expected to examine data on enrollment barriers and retention strategies, alongside efforts to improve instructional quality through specialized training.
