Parents in Gujarat are seemingly choosing fewer facilities over higher fees in Gujarat, as a trend of enrolling children into government schools can be clearly seen. In the past year, 2.29 lakh students have left private schools to enroll in government schools.

While students have been moving from private to government schools annually, this year’s numbers have increased significantly.
