Note4Students

From UPSC perspective, the following things are important :

Prelims level: Performance Grading Index

Mains level: NA

The Education Ministry’s Performance Grading Index for 2019-20 was recently released.

Performance Grading Index

  • The PGI is a tool to provide insights on the status of school education in States and UTs including key levers that drive their performance and critical areas for improvement.
  • It monitors the progress that States and UTs have made in school education with regard to learning outcomes, access and equity, infrastructure and facilities, and governance and management processes.
  • Grading will allow all States and UTs to occupy the highest level i.e Grade I, at the same time which is a sign of a fully developed nation.

Its methodology

  • This is the third edition of the index and uses 70 indicators to measure progress.
  • Of these, the 16 indicators related to learning outcomes remain unchanged through all three editions, as they are based on data from the 2017 National Achievement Survey, which tested students in Classes 3, 5, 8, and 10.

Highlights of the 2019-20 Report

  • Punjab, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala have all scored higher than 90%.
  • Gujarat dropped from second to the eighth rank in the index, while MP and Chhattisgarh are the only States which have seen actual regression in scores over this period.
