Educational standards have figured prominently in recent debates over the new educational policy and elsewhere. There lies scope to talk about the nature of standards and available frameworks with reference to the measurement of standards for Indian schools.
Another crucial aspect has been the connection between schools and higher education institutions to build capacity. Collaboration is a process and not an event and now is also the best time to develop long-term school-university partnerships that makes a difference to school students, teachers, University faculties, researchers, and research.
