EducationWorld India School Rankings 2016

EducationWorld September 16 | EducationWorld
Over the past four months 140 C fore field personnel interviewed 10,301 parents, principals, teachers and senior school students in 28 cities countrywide, and persuaded them to rate schools in their region on a ten-point scale across 14 parameters of education excellence – Dilip Thakore & Summiya Yasmeen Way back in 2007, EducationWorld, launched on the eve of the new millennium with the avowed mission “to build the pressure of public opinion to make education the #1 item on the national agenda”, commissioned the first-ever survey to rate and rank India’s most respected and admired schools. The purpose behind the nationwide market research survey was to alert promoters, principals and teachers of primary-secondary schools who tend to live in secluded ivory towers, that their education delivery performance will be evaluated, measured and compared with schools countrywide on a broad range of parameters. Since then over the years, the annual EducationWorld India School Rankings have been fine-tuned to emerge as the most reason and logic-driven schools ranking league tables in India, and perhaps globally. In 2013 persuaded by the logic that apples shouldn’t be compared with oranges, the earlier process of evaluating day, boarding and international schools in these three broad categories was abandoned to rate and rank them according to ten more narrowly defined categories. Since then, day schools were sub-divided into day boys, girls, co-ed and day-cum-boarding categories; boarding schools into boys, girls and co-ed, and international schools into day, day-cum-boarding and wholly residential categories. Some skeptics and cynics scoff that the fine subdivisions within each category enable us to recognise and felicitate a larger number of institutions. That’s a charge we freely admit. This is why over the past several years, C fore field personnel have started conducting field surveys to rate and rank the best government and private budget schools countrywide as well. The Top 10 schools in each category are invited to be felicitated at the EW India School Rankings 2016 Awards Nite at the Leela Hotel in Gurgaon (Delhi NCR) on September 23-24. As in the past seven years, this will be the largest annual conclave of school promoters, principals and educators countrywide. This gala two-day event will also be globally livestreamed on www.educationworld.in. Against this contextual backdrop, in this long-awaited special issue of EW, we present the EducationWorld India School Rankings 2016 league tables of the country’s Top 1,000 schools in 13 different categories not only nationally, but also in the states and major cities. It’s pertinent to bear in mind that most of India’s states are as populous as most European and African countries. Therefore a Top 10 rank in a state is no mean achievement. Moreover, in response to skeptics who criticised the EW league tables for being perceptions based — for which we make no apology because the aggregated perceptions of 10,000-plus individuals with subject knowledge are more credible than unverified ‘facts’ volunteered by schools — this year, we have appended the actual scores of schools in the CISCE and CBSE
