NEP 2020's Missing Piece? How Student Voices Can Finally Bring It to Life in Your School

Beyond the Board Results: Are We Truly Listening to India's Students?

And How a National Initiative is Helping Us Hear Them Better

🙏 Namaste and Warm Greetings, School Leaders of India!

In the vibrant tapestry of Indian education, our spotlight often lands on board results, entrance exams, and syllabus completion. These are undeniably important. But in our pursuit of academic excellence, are we truly tuning in to the most important voices in our schools — our students?

🧠 Rethinking What Matters in Education

From the bustling classrooms of Mumbai to the serene schoolyards of Kerala, our students live through every nuance of our education systems. They interact with our teaching methods, infrastructure, culture, and support systems.

But how often do we ask them — and really listen — to how they feel?

• Are they happy?

• Do they feel safe?

• Are they engaged?

• Do they feel heard?

📘 NEP 2020 & The Shift Towards Student-Centric Learning

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 calls for a holistic, student-first model of schooling. It encourages nurturing environments where students thrive not just academically, but socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

Yet, to embody this vision, we need more than occasional surveys or casual feedback.

We need a structured, large-scale approach that brings forward students' real experiences across classrooms, corridors, and communities.

📊 Introducing the Best School Review

A new national movement is quietly reshaping how schools understand student life: The Best School Review (BSR).

🎯 BSR enables schools to gather structured, data-driven feedback from Classes 6–12 — directly from the students themselves.

It’s a platform for deep insight into what matters to your students.

💬 Imagine Knowing…

✅ Which teaching strategies make the most impact

✅ How safe and supported your students truly feel

✅ What students really think about your school's infrastructure

✅ Which programs spark the most passion and growth

This isn’t guesswork — it’s real data, from real students.

🌐 Why It Matters

🔹 Aligns with NEP 2020 goals🔹 Empowers school leaders to make student-informed decisions🔹 Creates national benchmarks based on student experiences🔹 Fosters genuine improvement — not just on paper, but on campus

By participating in the Best School Review, your school isn’t just joining a survey. You’re joining a movement to make India’s schools more student-focused, data-informed, and future-ready.
