"While PM SHRI provides Kerala an opportunity to enhance the quality of select government schools through improved learning outcomes, teacher development, and technology integration, the state could go further by institutionalising learning progress, supporting teacher development, and easing burdensome infrastructure requirements, allowing all schools to focus on learning while ensuring quality education benefits all students across the system," writes Nissy Solomon of #CPPRIndia in her article in the @HindustanTimes.

"The absence of a system linking inspection findings to learning assessments and remedial action means that regulations enforce compliance but do not systematically improve student outcomes. While basic safety and hygiene are non-negotiable, the overemphasis on physical infrastructure has often overshadowed the core purpose of schooling, which is learning," write Afiya Biju and Nissy Solomon of #CPPRIndia in their article in the Hindustan Times.

"The need for reform is urgent. In 2024, the Ministry of Education identified 22,298 private schools as “unrecognised”, affecting 2.4 million students and 160,000 teachers. Notably, these schools were flagged not for poor academic outcomes but for failing to comply with prescriptive infrastructure norms under the Right to Education (RTE) Act," write Nissy Solomon and Afiya Biju of #CPPRIndia in their article.

Originally published in the Hindustan Times, the article analyses why implementation remains uneven, even five years after India's National Education Policy 2020 promised sweeping reforms!
