Central Square Foundation | The need for better Public Disclosure in schools

As part of our ongoing collaboration with Central Square Foundation, we are here with the third episode of our five part series where we talk about public disclosure of school learning quality data.

Usually, when parents assess schools for their children, they focus on non-academic factors like infrastructure and school facilities. But they do not have access to information regarding the most important factor that is student learning quality. The National Education Policy 2020 places a strong emphasis on public disclosure of school performance. To understand how is this reform is being implemented, we’ll be joined by two guests who have been working hard towards bringing this change, Kapil Khurana, Associate Director for School Governance at CSF and A.K. Modh Patel, Additional Director, GCERT, Gujarat who is leading Gujarat’s effort to disclose school learning quality data through the School Quality Assessment and Assurance Framework (SQAAF).

Hosted and produced by Niharika Nanda
Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
