The Haryana Directorate of Secondary Education has raised alarms over discrepancies in student enrolment data from private schools across the state. Several institutions have failed to update their records on the management information system (MIS) portal for the academic session 2026-27, leading to many showing 'zero enrolment' despite having active student populations. This issue was discovered during routine monitoring exercises, revealing inconsistencies between actual enrolment and digital records. The department has directed district education officers to ensure compliance and immediate corrective actions. The MIS portal is vital for informed decision-making regarding resource allocation and infrastructure development in education. Despite the Haryana government's push for digitization, compliance from private schools has been inconsistent, often attributed to lack of awareness and technical challenges. Experts stress that accurate data entry is essential for enhancing learning outcomes and ensuring equitable access to education.
