As per the 15th annual EducationWorld India School Rankings (EWISR) 2021-22 (part 1) results of the survey conducted by C- Fore, DPS, Ranchi has been declared as the top co-ed school of Jharkhand. The results of the survey were declared on November 15.
The other schools from across the State which have made it to the top five spots include DPS, Bokaro; Loyola School, Jamshedpur; Chinmay Vidyalay, Bokaro and Little Flower School, Jamshedpur.
To conduct the 2021-22 EWISR survey, the Delhi-based market research, and opinion polls company Centre for Forecasting and Research Pvt. Ltd (C fore, estb.2000) constituted a sample respondents database of 11,458 individuals including school principals, teachers, educationists, fees-paying parents in SEC (socio-economic category) ‘A’, and senior school students in 28 major cities and education hubs across India. To rate and rank the best Government schools, parents in SEC ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ categories were also interviewed. The sample respondents were persuaded to rate India’s most well-known 3,000 primary-secondary schools on 14 parameters of education excellence.
The 14 parameters on which schools have been ranked included academic reputation, competence of faculty, individual attention to students, leadership or management quality and co- curricular education amongst others.
“Although EWISR is primarily a perceptions-based survey, we have been publishing hard data including class XII school-leaving exam average scores of institutions willing to provide them. Moreover this year, the scores awarded under the important parameter of ‘teacher competence’ include teachers’ scores in a special online test administered by CENTA (Centre for Teacher Accreditation), a teacher development and certification company. These annual surveys are pragmatic and their great merit is that we have ideated over a dozen benchmarks for holistic school education, and generated huge nationwide awareness of the vital importance of well-rounded, balanced education,” said Premchand Palety, Chief Executive of C fore, explaining the ratings and ranking methodology of EWISR 2021-20.
