Consider the following statements regarding Performance Grading Index ...
The correct answer is option 'C' - Both 1 and 2.
The Performance Grading Index (PGI) 2.0 is an assessment tool that evaluates the performance of the school education system in the States and Union Territories (UTs) of India. It provides a comprehensive framework to assess the progress of states and UTs in the field of school education and helps in identifying areas that need improvement.
The Performance Grading Index 2.0 is based on various performance indicators that are grouped into two categories: outcomes and governance management.
1. Assessing the performance of the school education system:
The Performance Grading Index 2.0 evaluates the performance of the school education system in the States and UTs. It takes into account various parameters such as access, infrastructure, equity, governance processes, and learning outcomes. By assessing these parameters, the PGI 2.0 provides a holistic view of the strengths and weaknesses of the education system in each state and UT.
2. Performance indicators grouped into two categories:
The performance indicators under the Performance Grading Index 2.0 are divided into two categories - outcomes and governance management.
- Outcomes: This category includes indicators related to learning outcomes, access to education, infrastructure, and equity. It assesses how well the education system is delivering quality education, ensuring access to education for all, providing adequate infrastructure facilities, and promoting equity in education.
- Governance Management: This category includes indicators related to governance processes, policy implementation, monitoring mechanisms, and capacity building. It evaluates the effectiveness of governance processes and management practices in the education system, including policy implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and capacity building initiatives.
By grouping the performance indicators into these two categories, the Performance Grading Index 2.0 provides a comprehensive assessment of both the outcomes and the governance management of the school education system in each state and UT.
In conclusion, the Performance Grading Index 2.0 assesses the performance of the school education system in the States and UTs and uses performance indicators grouped into two categories - outcomes and governance management. Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct.
