Kishore and Puri (1992), looking at high drop rates of children in the age group 9-14 years including non-starters, suggest the alternative and flexible or non-formal supplementary interventions to bring out-of-school girls back to mainstream education. They advocate the proper implementation of Comprehensive Access to Primary Education (CAPE) project through non-formal education system in wake of a great majority of girls, as high 80% in certain pockets or rural areas being out-of-school. Even, the most well-intended projects fail due to lack of will, preparation and support in the implementation phase, they fear.
