Creating an Enabling Environment for Private Schools to Deliver Quality Education
Private Schools at a Glance
Nearly half of India’s school children are enrolled in private schools (U-DISE 2019)
70% of students in private schools pay less than Rs 1,000
73% parents believe their children will have better learning outcomes in private schools
We found that there is a lack of reliable data of learning outcomes in private schools. Since parents do not have information to judge schools based on learning, they usually opt for schools based on weak proxies like infrastructure, reputation or medium of teaching.
Our Approach
Data for Demand
Reducing the information gap between schools and parents by equipping the latter with data on school quality based on standardized assessments in primary and middle grades.
Generate Evidence on Private Schools
Building a positive narrative through disseminating data and evidence to create an enabling environment for private schools to focus more on improving learning outcomes.
