Various schools of Uttarakhand have been included int he second part of the 15th annual EducationWorld India School Rankings (EWISR) 2021-22 released recently in Bengaluru. Part II rates and ranks the country’s Top 1,000 schools in three main and six sub-categories – Boarding Schools (Co-ed, Girls and Boys), International Schools (Day, Day-cum-Boarding, Fully Residential) and Private Budget schools. Part I of this annual survey, which ranked India’s day, government and special needs schools, was released in November.
As per EWISR 2021-22, Part-II results, India’s top legacy boarding schools are The Doon School for boys in Dehradun, Welham Girls School in Dehradun and Rishi Valley School in Chittoor.
In the league table of India’s top international day, day-cum-boarding and residential schools, the top-ranked are Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai (International Day), Indus International School, Bengaluru (Day-cum-Boarding) and Woodstock School, Mussoorie (Fully Residential).
To conduct the 2021-22 EWISR survey, the Delhi-based market research and opinion polls company Centre for Forecasting and Research Private Limited 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. The sample respondents were persuaded to rate India’s most well-known 1,000 boarding, international schools and BPS on 14 parameters of education excellence.
“In the year of the Covid pandemic during which all schools countrywide were under government-imposed lockdown for over 60 weeks, two new parameters — online education effectiveness and mental and emotional well-being services have been added. In no country worldwide has such an extensive and comprehensive primary-secondary schools rankings survey been undertaken, that provides insights into ways and means to continuously raise teaching-learning standards for the greater good of the community and country, said Education World founder editor DilipThakore.
