Solution

Poor girls do not leave school because they wish so but because they are compelled to do so due to several reasons. In rural and poor areas of the country, there are no proper schools. There is also a dearth of teachers who can teach on a regular basis. If a school is not close to people's homes, and there is no transport facility, parents do not show their willingness to send girls to school.
