On the learning curve: transforming education outcomes in India
The systemic approach to transforming education outcomes in India is leading to success
Among the
lakhs of employees on the payrolls of State governments in India, the education
department, unarguably, has the largest share of employees. Besides frontline
service providers (teachers), there are a number of other officials and
administrators who form an important part of the educational set-up.
The Haryana case study
Given the size of the education department, any effort to
introduce education reforms must ensure that the incentives of all stakeholders
are aligned throughout the system to ensure their participation. Education
transformation programmes by States run the risk of falling flat, as they are
often unaccompanied by a single transformation change road map that all key
actors agree upon and work towards. A successful example of implementing such a
road map can be seen in Haryana, which has created a race among its
administrative blocks to be declared as ‘Saksham’ (Hindi for abled/skilled),
i.e. have 80% or more students who are grade level competent.
