Grand Jury Awards 2019

The annual EducationWorld Grand Jury Awards were introduced in 2016 to acknowledge and felicitate schools — especially newly-promoted, low-profile primary-secondaries — which excel under parameters other than the 14 under which schools are rated and ranked in the annual EducationWorld India School Rankings which are based on field-based countrywide interviews. In June-July advertisements in EducationWorld, our website (www.educationworld.in) and the social media invited nominations — including self-nomination — under separate and distinct parameters including environment friendliness, technology usage, extraordinary leadership, multi-sports culture etc, with documentary proof of best practices and achievement. By the closing date for nominations (August 20), 1,000 nominations were received.

On the basis of the information provided by applicant schools and their own domain knowledge, a specially constituted Grand Jury comprising eminent educationists (Fatema Agarkar, co-founder of KA EduAssociates, Mumbai; Rohit Mahindra, director of the Mumbai-based Raj Mohindra Consultants Pvt. Ltd, Meeta Sengupta, educationist and senior advisor Centre for Civil Society, Delhi; Damodar Goyal, president of the Society for Unaided Private Schools of Rajasthan, Jaipur and K.R.
