Great initiative

I am delighted to note that the annual EducationWorld India School Rankings has gone global with the introduction of the EW Global School Rankings 2019-20 (EW September). This will enable parents in our neighbour countries to also make well-informed school choices. Bindu Narang Bangalore Ranking review request We are shocked to learn that Candor International School is ranked #7 in Bangalore and Karnataka (last year’s rank was #6) in the latest EducationWorld India School Rankings 2019-20. In fact, over the past 12-18 months, our school has improved by leaps and bounds, achieving many milestones in academics, co-curricular and sports education, and faculty achievements. We humbly request the awarding committee to review and reconsider our rankings as we strongly believe that we deserve to be ranked among the Top 3 international schools of Bangalore. Ajit Narayan Principal, Candor International School, Bangalore There is no awarding committee. Please study rankings methodology (p.42) — Editor Reassessment plea We are delighted that Shri Guru Gobind Singh Convent School has been voted #1 in Fatehabad city by EducationWorld for the past two years. Given our latest initiatives and achievements, we believe our school deserves to be top-ranked in the state of Haryana. Towards this end, we request the ranking agency to re-assess our school and the quality education it has delivered over the past 16 years. MD HS Sanghera Sh. Guru Gobind Singh Convent School, Chimmo, Fatehabad Legal notice In the EW India School Rankings 2019-20 league tables (EW September), we were appalled and disappointed to find Cygnus World School ranked #12 in Vadodara (lowest in the city), #55 in Gujarat state and #345 all-India in the co-ed day schools category. We have not provided any information to you, nor has your magazine approached us for any information. Therefore, we would like to understand on what basis these ranks have been awarded to us. It is a very serious matter for us and if not addressed, we will be obliged to take legal action. Kanchan Joshi Principal, Cygnus World School, Vadodara Please study rankings methodology (p.42) — Editor Baseless rankings I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the ranking of DPS Visakhapatnam Steel Plant in the EW India School Rankings 2019-20 (EW September). The three schools of Visakhapatnam ranked above us are far below in all parameters of EW assessment. Our board exam results are best in the district and the state. Moreover, ours is the only school in the city with 95 percent staff being paid Seventh Pay Commission salaries and other service benefits. Our school is 28 years old and is sited on a 13-acre campus in the RINL township, a public sector unit, and our students win most of the local championships and have the highest rate of admission in IITs/medical and other professional courses. In the circumstances, please refrain from publishing baseless rankings.
