Abstract
The focus of this paper is to get a bird's eye view of the various factors that could be analyzed
to present schools and governments timely indicators of school dropouts. With the help of
EDM, one could have access to enormous amounts of data. The crux of the matter would be
to identify the data in line with plans and ideas that would eventually lead to the formulation
of policies that enhance the teaching and learning process.
