Promising times ahead!
Your cover story ‘Modi government’s education report card 2014-24’ (EW March) offers a refreshing perspective on the NaMo government’s performance in the education sector.
I agree with Prof. Rishikesh’s views that over the past decade of BJP rule at the Centre, education has received high visibility with the long overdue introduction of […]
Develop exams positivity
With rising incidents of children experiencing panic attacks and nervous breakdowns during the exams season, your cover story ‘Helping children during exams season’ (PW February) was timely and welcome.
I agree with Dr. Venkatesh Babu’s view that in the new age of social media, parents need to take exam stress more seriously than […]
Must-read cover feature
As a regular reader of EducationWorld, I enjoyed reading Sridhar Rajagopalan’s insightful cover story ‘What’s wrong with India’s K-12 education and how to right it’ (EW February). I must commend the learned author for his diagnosis and prescription for righting the infirmities of India’s primary-secondary school system, especially of the deep-rooted problem […]
Unaccepting adults
I enjoyed reading your cover story on sustainable practices (PW January). I work for a non-profit that supports initiatives to protect the environment. When we conduct workshops and awareness programmes in schools, I must admit it’s an absolute pleasure to watch children’s faces light up at the thought of spending time outdoors with […]
Neglect outcome
Your cover story analysing the reasons why India pulled out of PISA 2022 (EW January) was well argued.
Let’s face it! The time has come for India to accept that years of education neglect has resulted in poor student learning outcomes. We need to devise strategies to overhaul teaching-learning. Running away from competition […]
Timely & useful advice
Your Health and Nutrition column (PW December) ‘Protecting children from air pollution’ was timely and informative. With the onset of winter, children in major cities are being exposed to high levels of toxic air pollution which is causing respiratory infections and other health problems. Pulmonologist Dr. Ganesh Pratap’s preventive measures were […]
Commendable service
I am a regular reader of EducationWorld and want to thank Team EW for publishing the well-researched preschools rankings survey in 17 cities (EW December).
In most metros and tier II cities, I noticed the inclusion of a large number of new preschools in the league tables which shows that there is huge demand […]
Well-researched & informative
Your cover story suggesting natural remedies for minor illnesses (PW November) was informative and well-researched. My three-year old son was born premature (32 weeks) and till date is small-made and fragile.
Speaking from my own experience, simple, natural remedies work best for minor illnesses, and spare children the side effects of strong antibiotics, […]
Generous compliment
Happy 24th anniversary! Congratulations to EducationWorld for publishing thought-provoking, challenging, iconoclastic features that rival the best journalistic output.
Nothing I have read anywhere on the subject of education, matches this publication for its scope, variety and mindfulness.
Take a bow!

Practical solution
I am a regular reader of EducationWorld. Your […]
‘Special parents’ of special children
What I found inspiring in your cover story ‘Parenting primer for children with disability’ was the emphasis on parents practicing self-care to be able to “run the marathon of caring for children with special needs”. I am the mother of a hyperactive seven-year-old, who has suffered delayed speech but is […]
Restrict children’s access to violent content
Your cover story titled ‘Managing rising wave of child aggression’ (PW October) touched a deep chord. In the age of the Internet and social media, children are exposed to insidious content glorifying violence, exploitation and abuse. Parents should install parental control apps to restrict children’s access to all violent […]
Information gold mines
Heartiest congratulations to EducationWorld for publishing the mammoth Part I and Part II volumes of the EW India School Rankings 2023-24. Both issues are gold mines of information for aspirational parents.
In particular, it was a pleasant surprise to see the non-profit Future Hope School, Kolkata — located in my neighbourhood — […]
Useful advice
My four-year-old daughter is very shy and avoids all male children in the apartment and plays only with the girls. I was pleasantly surprised when I read Dr. Sachin Baliga’s reassuring response to a parent with a similar problem in your ‘Ask your Counselor’ section (PW September). His suggestions to help her overcome […]
Welcome evolution
Congratulations for bringing out the humongous 394-page EducationWorld India School Rankings 2023-24 Part I (EW September).
It’s compelling evidence of your claim that it is the world’s most comprehensive and detailed schools rating and ranking survey. Special thanks for including sports education and mental and emotional well-being services as parameters to assess schools which […]
Valuable feedback
Your special coverage of the pre-draft NCF-SE (EW August) is exhaustive and incisive for its value, pertinence and transformatory character in the context of recasting school education. I consider your critical assessment as one of the key check-points so far as the value of our efforts is concerned. I am convinced that it […]
Educative & informative
Your cover story ‘Free-range parenting phenomenon’ (PW July) was educative and informative. Till date, I was familiar only with helicopter, tiger and bulldozer parenting styles.
Now I believe free-range parenting is perfect for Gen Z as our children have access to limitless information on the internet and are far more independent than […]
Liberalise education
Your insightful cover story ‘Licence-permit-quota raj despair in K-12 education’ (EW July) was alarming. I couldn’t agree more with the authors who say that with opportunities for rents-seeking declining in industry, LPQ raj has migrated to K-12 education.
There is urgent need for the Central and state governments to liberalise and improve their ease-of-doing […]
Overdue wake-up call
Your well-researched cover story ‘Rising tide of child and youth suicides’ (PW June) supported by a wealth of data, sent shivers down my spine. It’s an overdue wake-up call for unsuspecting middle-class parents who believe that topping national entrance exams is the prerequisite of success in later life. The time has come […]
Absolute gems
Your cover story ‘America’s hidden gems private universities’ (EW June) was an absolute gem especially for school-leavers like me exploring higher education options beyond Ivy League universities
The 14 universities of the Michigan Colleges Alliance seem to offer excellent higher education with the added advantages of low teacher-pupil ratio, plus internship and placement opportunities […]
Important life skill
Inspired by your Health and Nutrition section on summer coolers (PW April), on a particularly hot day last week, my daughter rustled up an appetizing lemon-mint punch! She even greased the rim of the glass with tangy lime and chaat masala. Thank you for sharing simple recipes which children can manage. Learning […]
Intelligent rankings
Congratulations to EducationWorld for publishing yet another comprehensive higher education rankings issue (EW April and May). It has intelligently rated and ranked junior and undergrad colleges and universities across the country under critical parameters of higher education excellence.
Our senior school students look forward to and benefit immensely in making informed higher education […]
Gen Z prone to high stress
Your cover story ‘Natural therapies best option’ (PW April) is timely and relevant. I believe that Gen Z is more prone to stress and anxiety that any previous generation. Ubiquitous social media, peer pressure, digital gadgets, burden of parental expectations etc have led to children experiencing high stress, loneliness, […]
GDCW pride
I was delighted to learn that my alma mater — Government Degree College for Women, Begumpet, Hyderabad — is ranked among India’s Top 3 government autonomous colleges in the EW India Higher Education Rankings 2023-24 (EW April).
Congratulations to principal Dr. Padmavathi, faculty and students for continuing the GDCW tradition of empowering women […]
Refreshing suggestions
Thanks for your very refreshing summer activities suggestions in the latest cover story (PW March). My children are 10 and 12 years respectively, and keeping them busy during the summer holidays is a herculean task. I especially liked your Connecting with Nature recommendations. Most of the year, children are so busy juggling packed […]
Enlightening comment
As much as your cover story ‘National Curriculum Framework (NCF) for School Education: Great Expectations’ (EW March) highlights the urgent need for NCF to standardise the quality of school education countrywide, it also exposes the confusion that most educators have about NCF, its purpose and implementation.
Be that as it may, I was […]
Timely & relevant
Congratulations for publishing an excellent parenting magazine. The stories are timely and relevant and address pressing parenting problems.
I specially liked your Ask the Doctor and Ask Your Counsellor columns. The most important concern of parents is children’s physical and mental health and it’s very reassuring to read expert opinion on how […]
Welcome guidelines
Congratulations for a brilliant cover story ‘1991 liberalisation moment in Indian education?’ and informative graphics on the recent big deals in K-12 education and foreign education majors in India (EW February).
Strong winds of change are indeed sweeping over Indian education. Samuel Fraser of ISC Research is right in his comment that “NEP […]
Good advice
Your recipes section (PW January) inspired me to rediscover apples, a crunchy powerhouse of nutrients.
In India, we are used to eating raw apples and rarely cook or bake them. But your apple recipes were far too tempting not to try out. I tried the apple pie and crumble and both have become […]
Words of encouragement
As always, the latest issue of EducationWorld makes absorbing reading. I hope in this year, we will meet the extraordinary expectations and aspirations of all for a transformative change in our knowledge society enriched by erudite individuals like you. I appreciate your visionary oversight of this widely read magazine which is a […]
Health is wealth
Thanks for the informative and upbeat cover story ‘Starting the New Year positively’ (PW December).
I fully agree with nutritionist Dr. Ruchita Maheswari that it’s important to prioritise health and well-being in 2023. Just when we thought the Covid pandemic was behind us, we are hearing news of new Covid variants and […]
Commendable focus
I AM A regular reader of EducationWorld and want to thank you for publishing the comprehensive EW India Preschool Rankings 2022-23 (EW December), especially after the understandably truncated surveys over the pandemic years.
I also welcome inclusion of the best government-run anganwadis in your survey. This will serve the purpose of focusing government attention on […]
Challenging to manage new-borns
I am mother to a one-year-old baby girl. Your story on the importance of sleep in infancy was an eye-opener (PW November). It’s amazing to learn that it’s during sleep that crucial brain and physical development happens. Your suggestions to improve infants’ sleep were excellent.
As a new mom, I am struggling to […]
Timely cover story
I HAVE been a reader of EducationWorld for over a decade now. Congratulations on your 23rd anniversary issue (EW November). I particularly like the insightful cover story ‘Reviving the lost art of philanthropy and fundraising’.
The number of HNI (high networth individuals) and unicorn companies in India are multiplying rapidly as reported by several […]
School lunchbox recipes, please
Nutritionist Vasanthi Senthilvel’s column on foods which boost brain development in children was informative and useful (PW October). My daughter is three years old and I understand the importance of providing her the right diet to boost physical and cognitive development.
I also liked your banana recipes. My grandmother always recommended bananas with […]
Evolving parameters
My heartiest congratulations to EducationWorld for the comprehensive EW India School Rankings 2022-23 Part I and Part II (EW September and October) issues.
As a committed reader of EW — especially the school rankings surveys — I am impressed with your evolving parameters of school education excellence over the years. Another welcome inclusion is […]
Delightful read
Your cover story titled ‘Inspire children with the idea of India’ was a delight to read (PW August). Like most children of this generation, my sons aged nine and 11 years, have very limited knowledge of India’s freedom struggle. I wholeheartedly agree with you that it’s critically important to educate children about our unique […]
Suggest educative apps
Thank you for a very informative essay on why parents should focus on ‘screen quality’ instead of ‘screen time’.
Technology is here to stay. We cannot deny its presence. Our children depend on technology for completion of their schoolwork. Therefore, we must encourage them to access digital content which is informative, also […]
Commendable evolution
CONGRATULATIONS FOR bringing out the mammoth 344-page EducationWorld India School Rankings issue (EW September). It’s undisputedly the most comprehensive schools rankings survey in the country, and perhaps worldwide. In particular, special thanks for bringing back the sports education parameter and continuing with the critical parameter of mental and emotional well-being services to assess schools […]
Misrepresented facts
Your cover story (EW August) was well researched and on point regarding issues of the Barefoot College (BC) model of learning without formal degrees and the reasons cited why it may not work in India. These are revolutionary ideas based on a steadfast belief in the human spirit and honesty that have yielded extraordinary […]
Constructive criticism
I read your detailed cover story ‘NEP 2020: Project implementation progress report’ (EW July) with great interest. It highlights the slow progress being made to implement the National Education Policy 2020, two years after it was presented to Parliament with great hope and expectation. This is further proof that overhauling India’s education system […]
