Punjab, TN and Kerala graded highest in school education performance index

<p>
<strong>Punjab, Chandigarh, Tamil Nadu, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Kerala have been awarded the highest grade (Grade A++) in the all-India Performance Grading Index (PGI) of school education for 2019-20, released by Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ on Sunday.</strong></p>
<p>
The Performance Grading Index has a set of 70 parameters to catalyse transformational change in the field of school education.</p>
<p>
The PGI for States and Union Territories was first published in 2019 with reference year 2017-18. It helps the States/UTs to pinpoint the gaps and accordingly prioritise areas for intervention to ensure that the school education system is robust at every level. The PGI for 2019-20 is the third publication in this series.</p>
<p>
Most of the States/UTs have improved their grade in 2019-20 compared to the earlier years.</p>
<p>
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Puducherry, Punjab and Tamil Nadu have improved overall PGI score by 10%, i.e., 100 or more points.</p>
<p>
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep and Punjab have shown improvement by 10% (8 points) or more in the PGI domain: Access.</p>
<p>
As many as 13 States and UTs have shown improvement by 10% (15 points) or more in the PGI domain: Infrastructure and Facilities. Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Odisha have shown improvement by 20% or more.</p>
<p>
Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Odisha have shown more than 10% improvement in the PGI domain: Equity.</p>
<p>
Nineteen States and UTs have shown improvement by 10% (36 points) or more in the PGI domain: Governance Process. Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Punjab, Rajasthan and West Bengal have shown improvement by at least 20% (72 points or more).</p>
<p>
The PGI exercise envisages that the index would propel States and UTs towards undertaking multi-pronged interventions that will bring about the much-desired optimal education outcomes.</p>
