Abstract	Education is an essential element in the holistic development of individuals, encompassing both material and spiritual growth. Throughout the course of human history, education has continuously evolved, shedding light on various aspects of human progress. This paper develops into the examination of secondary school education status in Odisha, focusing on critical indicators such as enrolment, dropout rates, retention rates, and transition rates. The data used for this analysis is gathered from the Odisha Directorate of Economics and Statistics, specifically from the Educational Statistics and UDISE (Unified District Information System for Education) under the government of Odisha. The analysis of secondary education in Odisha reveals a declining trend in dropout rates from 2009-10 to 2014-15, with some stabilization or slight increases in later years. A gender gap in dropout rates, favouring boys initially, gradually narrowed. The significant dropout rates between 2014-15 and 2015-16 suggest effective policy interventions. Transition rates fluctuated slightly higher for girls but generally followed a similar trend. The highest transition rates were noted in 2011-12. While Gross Enrolment Ratio fluctuated, the Retention Rate remained high or improved, indicating good retention once students enrolled. This analysis highlights the need for ongoing efforts to reduce dropouts, enhance access, and address gender disparities in Odisha's secondary education.
