To conduct the 2020-21 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 11,368 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. The sample respondents were persuaded to rate India’s most well-known 500 boarding, international schools and BPS on 14 parameters* of education excellence. To rate and rank the best BPS schools, parents in SEC ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ categories were also interviewed.
“This year because the number of schools ranked has exceeded 2,500, we are obliged to publish our 15 league tables in two issues of EducationWorld. In Part II, the country’s more glamorous legacy boarding and international schools affiliated with off-shore examination boards are rated under 14 parameters of school education excellence,” says Dilip Thakore, Founder-editor of EducationWorld.
"The 14 parameters under which all schools are assessed in EWISR surveys have set new benchmarks in provision of holistic education. This year taking note of the huge education disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, a new parameter -- curriculum and pedagogy (digital readiness) -- has been introduced to rate schools' online teaching-learning practices. Although interviewing sample respondents was more difficult in these pandemic times, our 120 field personnel have done a thorough job.” says Premchand Palety, Chief Executive of C fore.
