The School Education Division addresses policy planning and development across the entire school ecosystem, aligning its work with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020’s pillars of Access, Quality and Future‑readiness. The Division generates evidence, designs policy solutions, and supports implementation to strengthen foundational learning, equitable access, teacher capacity, and system-level governance across early childhood care and education (ECCE), pre-primary, primary and secondary schooling.
Working closely with the Ministry of Education, State governments, school boards, district administrations, teacher education institutions, civil society, and industry partners, the Division focuses on scalable interventions that improve learning outcomes, reduce disparities, and prepare students with 21st century skills. Its vision is to help build an inclusive, resilient and future-ready school system that ensures every child attains age-appropriate competencies and is equipped for lifelong learning by 2047.
