PM SHRI Schools

As we continue to build an education system for the future, it is critical that the school ecosystem is resilient in the face of an increasingly unpredictable, dynamic and non-linear world. The PM SHRI schools are being designed to achieve that. These schools will help showcase the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 and emerge as exemplar schools. They will provide leadership in their respective regions in providing high-quality education in an equitable, inclusive and joyful school environment that takes care of the diverse background, multilingual needs, and different academic abilities of children and makes them active participants in their learning process. Schools are incentivized to yield results and perform better through a funding mechanism that is tracked through quality parameters.A decentralised administration strategy will be followed to ensure the effective implementation of the scheme. A system of transparency and accountability will be created for the effective delivery of performance at school levels.

These schools will focus on not only enhancing cognitive development but also creating holistic and well-rounded individuals equipped with key 21st-century skills. The pedagogy adopted in these schools will be more experiential, holistic, integrated, play/toy-based (particularly in the foundational years), inquiry-driven, discovery-oriented, learner-centred, discussion-based, flexible, and enjoyable. The focus will be on the
learning outcomes of every child in every grade. Assessment at all levels will be based on conceptual understanding and application of knowledge to real-life situations and will be competency-based.
