"Temperatures of 40°C and more often mean above 50°C in unventilated classrooms across the country. Recent studies have shown that room temperature impacts learning. If it gets too hot, learning becomes difficult. Both teachers and students suffer."

[Education Policy Institute for Bihar (EPIB Berlin) @EPIB_Berlin]

With climate change causing more frequent and more severe weather extremes, it is high time to make India's schools ready.

That is why we call for a Green New Deal for our schools, students and teachers.

We appeal to all sides to return to dialogue and to find a peaceful settlement.

Let us think collectively about how we can reach an agreement. That's what we owe to our children.

So this must be the overinvestment in infrastructure that Western based Indian academics talk about.

#NEP: School governance needs a holistic overhaul. We suggest to make a clear line between schooling and learning. We also stress the need for clearer roles, digitalisation, proper staffing & a rejuvenation of the esprit de corps of frontline bureaucrats.

Voices from #Bihar to improve the #NEP #NewEducationPolicy: India can become a champion for a new public good: digital education. How? Smart regulation.

Read how this can be done in a new op-ed by our project manager @mannu_rakesh and advisory board member @MartinHaus93.

Binding infrastructure norms hinder no-one from focusing on learning.

An important piece by @rambletastic and Lant Pritchett for @CGDev: Accountability, if understood as counting, is not conducive to thick tasks like teaching. Rather, deliberation and deviations at the ground level are crucial.

There are valid arguments on both sides. The court decision must be respected.

Yet, a political consensus must be found. It needs political leadership and programmatic teacher unions to ensure that a workable consensus is reached.

How EdTech and govts form an unholy alliance to uphold segregation. Not unlike the scenario in India.

Instead of tackling structural injustices, technological pseudo-solutions are promoted.

The technocratic solutions-marketplace has little to offer to solve the learning crisis in Bihar's schools. Rather, a social and political settlement must be reached that allows government schools to flourish.

I would go a step further & say we should have a common schooling system. But these are hypothetical questions. The fact is that most places have a stratified system. The need is to ensure that public schools are well resourced & able to function well.

@james_tooley In that case, please take some rest and let's continue our conversation once you feel better.

We wish you a speedy recovery and hope it is nothing serious <3

@RiteshGodda @james_tooley How much is e g the per pupil annual spending on a child going to a govt school in Bihar? How much does India spend on education as a percentage a) of the budget and b) of our GDP? How does that compare internationally and with global frameworks we have committed ourselves to?
