D. Areas of Possible Exploration for the Year 2 Evaluation
In the year 2 evaluation, we will add a focus on the teachers, curriculum designers and supervisors so that their thoughts and learning can also be captured as Gyan Shala evolves and adjusts to deliver high educational outcomes, as it always does.
In addition, the following ideas are being discussed and assessed for inclusion in the next report, based on the data available:
• Data on drop outs - during and after Grade 10;
• Comparative data on Grade 10 exam results – from year 1 to year 2;
• Comparative data on Grade 10 exam results – with a comparable institution;
• Curriculum, pedagogical and after-class tuition adjustments;
• Exploring potential tech-savvy survey tools to get feedback from students and teachers;
• Analyzing the educational and socio-economic background of parents on attendance and scores, as well as continuation up to and beyond Grade 10;
• Examining any other relevant data that seems worth analyzing, based on available data collection systems, with a cautionary note that data collected over a year or two may not or should not enable premature inferences or conclusions.
