“Although EWISR is primarily a perceptions-based survey, we have been publishing hard data including class XII school-leaving exam average scores of institutions willing to provide them. Moreover this year, the scores awarded under the important parameter of ‘teacher competence’ include teachers’ scores in a special online test administered by CENTA (Centre for Teacher Accreditation), a teacher development and certification company. These annual surveys are pragmatic and their great merit is that we have ideated over a dozen benchmarks for holistic school education, and generated huge nationwide awareness of the vital importance of well-rounded, balanced education,” says PremchandPalety, Chief Executive of C fore, explaining the ratings and ranking methodology of EWISR 2021-20.

In no country worldwide has such an extensive and comprehensive primary-secondary schools rankings survey has been undertaken, that provides insights into ways and means to continuously raise teaching-learning standards for the greater good of the community and country.
