Introduction

The School Education system in India is one of the largest in the world comprisingmore than 1.5 million schools, 9.6 million teachers, and over 264 million studentsfrom varied socio-economic backgrounds across 27 States and 8 Union Territories(UTs).It becomes essential to have a robust, real-time, and credible informationcollection mechanism for an objective evaluation of the system, based on whichspecificinterventionsforimprovementcanbedesigned.

 

GovernmentofIndiadecidedtodevelopanapplication,“UnifiedDistrictInformation System for Education Plus” (UDISE+) under the Ministry of Education,tocollect theschool detailsaboutfactorsrelated to aschooland itsresources.UDISE+hasamandateofcollectinginformationfromallrecognizedandunrecognizedschoolsimpartingformaleducationfromPre-primarytoXII.Information collected through the digital platform of UDISE+, is utilized for theplanning, optimized resource allocation and implementation of various education-related programs and assessments of progress made.UDISE+ collects informationthrough an online Data Collection Form (DCF) on parameters ranging from school,Infrastructure,teachers,enrolments,examinationresultsetc.spreadacross7sections.TheSchoolswhichgetonboardedsuccessfullyontheplatformareprovided a UDISE+ Code, which acts as a national level unique identifier.

• Is the schoolpart of a School Complex?(1-Yes,2-No):First incorporated inKothariCommission Report (1964-66), the concept of school complexes is based on the assumption thathighand higher secondary schoolshavebetter facilities, whichcanbe utilized by the primaryandmiddleschools.Theformeralsohavebetterteachingstaffandinfrastructurefacilities.

 

 

Five or six primary andupper primary schoolsform a complexandget their academic and
administrativesupportfromthenodalsecondary/senior secondaryschool.

 

So a schoolcomplex is organized by taking a group ofelementary schools, high schools,atraining school, a technical school etc. together. These institutions functions cooperatively for theimprovementoftheireducationalstandards.Itwillfacilitatetoprovideequaleducationalfacilities andexperiencestoall theschools.

 

The concept of school complex is also mentioned in the NEP 2020 viz. Para 5.10 of NEP 2020reads“State/UTGovernmentsmayadoptinnovativeformats,suchasschoolcomplex,rationalizationofschools,withoutinanywayreducingaccessibility,foreffectiveschoolgovernance, resource sharing, and community building.The creation ofschoolcomplexes couldgo a long way towards building vibrant teacher communities. The hiring of teachers to schoolcomplexes could automatically create relationships among schools across the school complex; itwould also help ensure excellent subject-wise distribution of teachers, creating a more vibrantteacher knowledge base. Teachers at very small schools will not remain isolated any longer andmay become part of and work with larger school complex communities, sharing bestpracticeswitheachotherandworkingcollaborativelytoensurethatallchildrenarelearning.School

 

complexes could also share counselors, trained social workers, technical and maintenance staff,
etc.tofurthersupportteachersandhelpcreateaneffectivelearningenvironment.”

• KeyperformingIndicators(KPI)onteaching,learning(incurrentacademicyear),materialsetc.:

The parameters discussed in 1.53 part of section 1 are basically the input variables for capturingthe learning outcomes.By input variables wemean that these are thevariables that areverymuch necessaryfortheschoolstomonitorortoimprove thelearningoutcomes.

 

1.54.1: Learning Outcomes:Children learn in a variety of ways such as listening, reading,playing,interacting anddoing.Thislearningleads to changein theirbehavior.Thischange,when observed and assessed, is often termed as learning outcome. The parameter focuses uponnumber of assessment items created by school based on the Learning Outcomes (LO’s) defined byNCERT/SCERT.The NCERThave defined theLO’s for each level of education.They areeasilyavailableontheNCERTwebsite.Thelinkforthemishttps://ncert.nic.in/learning-outcome.php

 

• Criterion-ReferencedItems:Thesearetheitemsdesignedtomeasurestudentperformance against a fixed set of predetermined criteria or learning standards (based on NASfindings here).

 

The criterion is not the cut score; the criterion is the domain of subject matter that the test isdesigned to assess.For example, the criterion may be “Students should be able to correctly addtwosingle-digitnumbers,”and thecutscoremay be thatstudentsshouldcorrectly answeraminimumof80% ofthequestionstopass.

 

Criterion-referenced evaluations are used in schools to examine specific knowledge and abilitiesthatstudentshavemostlikelygained.Thisdetermineshowclosetheyaretomasteringastandard.Theyallowteacherstoassesshowtheycanassiststudentsimproveinspecificareas. Criterion-referenced evaluations will showyouwhereyour learners are in termsof anacceptedstandard,allowingyoutotailorinstructionsandassistanceforstudents.

 

• For example driving tests are criterion-referenced tests, because their goal is to see whether thetest taker isskilled enoughtobegranted a driver’slicense,not to see whether one test taker ismoreskilled thananothertesttaker.

However,many students struggle toapply what they learntoreallife experiences.Agoodenrichmentprogram teaches students the concepts butalso providesthemwithhands-onlearninganduniqueexamsthathelpstudentsusethoseconceptsinapplicable ways.

Oneofthebiggestadvantagesofacademicenrichmentprogramsisthattheycanteachstudentsat a higher level than in a traditional classroom. The curriculum becomes more difficult as thestudents get smarter, presenting them with continual challenges that lead to higher confidencelevels.

 

Some of the few examples of academic enrichment activities are Project/Group work, portfolio,virtual labs, class performances, quizzes/debates, creative writing, preparation of bulletin boards,puzzlesolvingetc.

Introduction

The School Education system in India is one of the largest in the world comprisingmore than 1.5 million schools, 9.6 million teachers, and over 264 million studentsfrom varied socio-economic backgrounds across 27 States and 8 Union Territories(UTs).It becomes essential to have a robust, real-time, and credible informationcollection mechanism for an objective evaluation of the system, based on whichspecificinterventionsforimprovementcanbedesigned.

 

GovernmentofIndiadecidedtodevelopanapplication,“UnifiedDistrictInformation System for Education Plus” (UDISE+) under the Ministry of Education,tocollect theschool detailsaboutfactorsrelated to aschooland itsresources.UDISE+hasamandateofcollectinginformationfromallrecognizedandunrecognizedschoolsimpartingformaleducationfromPre-primarytoXII.Information collected through the digital platform of UDISE+, is utilized for theplanning, optimized resource allocation and implementation of various education-related programs and assessments of progress made.UDISE+ collects informationthrough an online Data Collection Form (DCF) on parameters ranging from school,Infrastructure,teachers,enrolments,examinationresultsetc.spreadacross7sections.TheSchoolswhichgetonboardedsuccessfullyontheplatformareprovided a UDISE+ Code, which acts as a national level unique identifier.

• KeyperformingIndicators(KPI)onteaching,learning(incurrentacademicyear),materialsetc.:

The parameters discussed in 1.53 part of section 1 are basically the input variables for capturingthe learning outcomes.By input variables wemean that these are thevariables that areverymuch necessaryfortheschoolstomonitorortoimprove thelearningoutcomes.

 

1.54.1: Learning Outcomes:Children learn in a variety of ways such as listening, reading,playing,interacting anddoing.Thislearningleads to changein theirbehavior.Thischange,when observed and assessed, is often termed as learning outcome. The parameter focuses uponnumber of assessment items created by school based on the Learning Outcomes (LO’s) defined byNCERT/SCERT.The NCERThave defined theLO’s for each level of education.They areeasilyavailableontheNCERTwebsite.Thelinkforthemishttps://ncert.nic.in/learning-outcome.php

 

• Criterion-ReferencedItems:Thesearetheitemsdesignedtomeasurestudentperformance against a fixed set of predetermined criteria or learning standards (based on NASfindings here).

 

The criterion is not the cut score; the criterion is the domain of subject matter that the test isdesigned to assess.For example, the criterion may be “Students should be able to correctly addtwosingle-digitnumbers,”and thecutscoremay be thatstudentsshouldcorrectly answeraminimumof80% ofthequestionstopass.

 

Criterion-referenced evaluations are used in schools to examine specific knowledge and abilitiesthatstudentshavemostlikelygained.Thisdetermineshowclosetheyaretomasteringastandard.Theyallowteacherstoassesshowtheycanassiststudentsimproveinspecificareas. Criterion-referenced evaluations will showyouwhereyour learners are in termsof anacceptedstandard,allowingyoutotailorinstructionsandassistanceforstudents.

 

• For example driving tests are criterion-referenced tests, because their goal is to see whether thetest taker isskilled enoughtobegranted a driver’slicense,not to see whether one test taker ismoreskilled thananothertesttaker.

Oneofthebiggestadvantagesofacademicenrichmentprogramsisthattheycanteachstudentsat a higher level than in a traditional classroom. The curriculum becomes more difficult as thestudents get smarter, presenting them with continual challenges that lead to higher confidencelevels.
