HRD introduced grading index to access states’ school education

HRD introduced grading index to access states’ school education



HRD Ministry has introduced a 70 point grading index to measure the quality of education offered schools in the states. "We have decided that a state performance grading will be done wherein the states will be marked out of 1,000 scores on 70 parameters," HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar told reporters. This will give a correct picture of education in each state. He further added that there will be a fair competition to improve each others’ performances. The minister also said that the government has decided to print more books of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) as there were only 2 crore books two years ago. "This year, our target is to print 6 crore books. If parents want to send their wards to private schools, they have the right to get cheaper and quality books," Javadekar said. "The school curriculum will also be reviewed to ensure holistic education in which there will be time for physical education, value education, life skill education and experiential learning," he added.
