Education departments have concluded the processing of reintegration applications for middle and high school students following a deadline extension until October 14, 2026. This Ministry of National Education initiative provides a second opportunity for students who failed their academic year to continue their studies, with the goal of reducing dropout rates. Applications are managed through a digital portal and assessed based on age, conduct, and academic performance. If a school council denies a request, provincial committees are tasked with finding alternative schools for the students. The law mandates education up to age 16, or 18 for students with disabilities. Meanwhile, the vocational training sector offers alternative pathways for those unable to return to the general school system, providing them with technical skills tailored to the job market.
