School rating system

Dear All, greetings.

Sub: School Rating (Ranking) system by Central Ministry of Education/NCERT or CBSE as a mandatory component of NEP(new education policy).

This has further reference to my briefing what I made in our yesterday's staff meeting about the subject cited above.

1. Like in the higher education segment, the school education and literacy department of central government has brought out about 300 plus assessment tools as its draft to rank schools across the country including government schools, aided institutions, public schools run by private managements, KVs, Navodaya Vidyalayas etc.

2. The very purpose of this excercise is to improve the quality of Indian school system and its learning outcomes.

3. 60 plus % of assessment tools are related with the minimum professional standards of practicing teachers on roll.

4. It includes their qualification at the time of appointment, further qualification added during service period, professional standards, quality of teaching, guidance, counseling, interaction with parents and public community, innovative practices incorporated in teaching, the amount of additional inputs referred and made as resources for teaching, time investment in correction work, assessment, recording the students/parents documents including leave letters, school diaries,circulars to the parents, class room decoration with charts, slides, outdoor activities, projects and experiential learning activities,case studies, lesson plans and its execution, co- operation with colleagues, parents and individual contributions to group/school activities like curricular activities, club activities, training sessions, Art, Craft, sports and annual day events, joining school picnics, regularity in work attendance, students & parents feedback about their teachers, time spent in labs, libraries and other resource rooms, dress code, professional discipline, quality of group interference, personal traits impacted students and community, usage of instructional media of language, black(smart) board management, quality of setting questions and its evaluation, further measures including remedial instructions, personal guidance and counseling, dress code, behavioural traits and manners , their role and contribution to implement the mission and vision statement of school, teacher as brand ambassador of the institution, credibility they enjoy among students, parents, management and public at large etc &etc.

ALL the above criterias are properly documented in a transparent way and to send regular reports (monthly) to the different stakeholders including education department, affiliation department like CBSE, ICSE,IB or IGCSE etc.

Further, an inspection or vigilance department from the central/state government agencies to monitor will be constituted.

Points/Scores will be awarded for each assessment tools  and based on total performance schools are awarded grades or All India or state wise Ranks.

This is the  time of thought building process for every student.

Please read, understand, conceive the concepts, make our mindset with positive energy and attitudes for a successful and satisfied professional life and living as a true Nation Builder.
