Progressive Closure

Prolonged school closure has wiped out decades of progress in education and a shadow pandemic of child labour, child marriage and mental health issues has taken hold, according to Henrietta Fore.

As many as 122 private engineering colleges have opted for "progressive closure" since last year. Most of these colleges are in Maharasthra, Gujarat and Haryana. If a college goes for "progressive closure" in an academic year, it means the institution cannot admit students anymore.
