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 have since returned to normalcy post-pandemic. Maria Joseph Noida Heartfelt gratitude On behalf of the entire Kashinath Palod Public School (KPSS), Jalgaon community, we express our heartfelt gratitude to EducationWorld, the judges, and everyone involved in the selection process. Your recognition means a lot to us, and we are inspired to continue our journey towards educational excellence. Our Top 5 award in Jalgaon city is huge motivation for our students, teachers, and staff to continue striving for excellence, and reflects our unwavering commitment towards providing high-quality education in an inclusive and nurturing environment. We look forward to building on this achievement and continuing to make positive contributions in education. Pravin Sonavane Principal, KPPS, Jalgaon Restore rightful position! We have highly valued EducationWorld’s #1 Day-cum-Boarding School award in Warangal city for four years until last year when we were ranked a disappointing #2. A franchisee of the reputed DPS Society, known for its commitment to “service before self”, DPS, Warangal’s 12-acre campus hosts an Olympic-size swimming pool, sports fields, and skilled coaches which provide our students well-balanced academic, co-curricular and sports education. With over 250 awards including recognition by the Governor of Telangana, and an AAAA+ rating, we stand as a beacon of quality education and service. We believe our school deserves top spot. We respectfully urge you to reconsider and acknowledge DPS Warangal’s rightful position as the #1 day-cum-boarding school. Pillai Manjumol Shivashankar Principal, DPS, Warangal Please note the sample respondents change every year. Moreover, it’s important to raise your school’s public profile — Editor Unacceptable rank We believe Surmount International School is Gorakhpur’s best co-ed day school in every aspect of education excellence. We are the first school to introduce AI-Robotics, offer 14 innovative hobby clubs and equip our students to win cricket/basketball/table-tennis tournaments organised in the region. Therefore our #6 rank in Gorakhpur is unacceptable to us. My humble request is to justify the rank awarded to us this year giving valid reasons. Dharambir Yadav, Principal Surmount International School, Gorakhpur (See Editor’s comment above) Missing asterisk In the recent comprehensive EWISR 2023-24 rankings issue (EW September), we discovered that The Mann School, Delhi has not been star marked for taking the CENTA test. Yet our teachers have taken this online test. I am worried this may have had some implication on our school’s ranking as it is a cut-throat competition at the top. Would be grateful if you could make necessary amends. S. Sriram, Principal The Mann School, Delhi Omitted stars We draw your attention to the fact that despite our teachers and students having taken the CENTA online and LogIQids Students Critical Thinking tests, the single and double stars are missing…
