According to KAG 2020-21 dataset, primary school is divided into lower primary and higher primary categories. Classes 1-5 come under lower primary and classes 6-8 come under higher primary. The Bayesian network models the school drop-out ratio in primary schools (lower and higher) of Karnataka districts/talukas.
