Abstract Good Education for slum children is a ground-breaking initiative created by the Indian Women and Child Welfare Trust that aims to provide the underprivileged and marginalized, out-of-school and educationally backward children in urban slums with a safety net of education through a creative strategy. The initiative recognizes the nation's concern about improving learning outcomes and universalizing elementary education as being of the utmost importance. Quality education is a distant dream for thousands of children living in urban slums because of their extreme poverty. The mission of quality education for slum children is to realize this ideal and significantly improve the lives of the children. Five slum regions are located within Jammu city, which was the sole focus of the current study's population. Three slums were chosen to represent the population of children aged 5 to 15: Radhika colony, Kasim Nagar, and Chand Nagar (two of which were notified and one of which was not). A total of 150 children were included in the sample. The information was gathered with the assistance of local government units, slum leaders, and Anganwadi personnel (Supervisors and helpers). Details about each of these slums were acquired separately. The main findings of the survey included information on the educational status of school-going children of slums of Jammu region and the reasons for their low enrolment and dropout from schools.
