Telangana's rank in National Achievement Survey 2024 improves; but it is not in top-10 high performing States
The results are part of PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan, formerly National Achievement Survey (NAS), the national survey conducted by National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to assess learning competencies of students in grades 3 (foundational), 6 (preparatory) and 9 (middle stage). The survey is conducted every three years.
Across the country, 781 districts in 28 States and eight Union Territories, over 21 lakh students were assessed in the survey. In Telangana, the assessment was conducted on December 4, 2024, in 3,342 schools in 33 districts.
As per the report, Telangana is not in the top-10 high performing States in the country, but it is also not in the 10 low performing States. As per an average, the State is ranked 26th in grade 3 and grade 6 assessment and 17th in grade 9. The State was 36th for grade 3 in the 2021 assessment.
According to a statement from director, School Education E. Naveen Nicholas, 'This indicates that Telangana has exited the group of bottom-10 performing States for all classes.'
Also, 'there is a clear 10% point improvement in language and Mathematics scores for class 3 students, and government schools, particularly those under State management, have performed better than private schools and Central government schools in core subjects in class 3,' he noted.
Further, the performance of class 6 students has also shown encouraging signs of academic recovery, although continued efforts are necessary to sustain gains and further strengthen basic literacy and numeracy skills, the note observed.
Decisions which contributed to better result
Officials in the School Education Department are also of the view that decisions such as teacher promotions, transfers, which enabled appropriate teacher deployment, combined with capacity building of teachers and close monitoring contributed to the better result.
Implementation of Foundational Literacy and Numeracy and academic support initiatives in the districts also helped the progress, they said.

CBSE to set up its own community radio station
AI image NEW DELHI: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will soon come up with a community radio station exclusively for its students, teachers and other stakeholders, according to officials. The proposal was approved in the recent Governing Body meeting of the board, where it was decided that the application for procuring a license be moved. "The proposal to set up a community radio station was approved by the board's Governing Body. It was decided that consultative meetings will be held in next six months with stakeholders and experts for preparing and processing application for community radio license detailed, " a senior CBSE official said. The board has also decided that financial implications be worked out, the official added. The CBSE already runs a podcast called Shiksha Vani which disseminates timely audio content for various subjects of grades 9-12 in a lucid and seamless manner. CBSE-Shiksha Vani is available on Play Store for Android phone users. Shiksha Vani has, so far, uploaded approximately 400 pieces of content in accordance with NCERT curriculum. "The modalities of the content which will be broadcast on the community radio station will be worked out once the license is procured," the official added. Community Radio is an important third tier in radio broadcasting, distinct from public service radio broadcasting and commercial radio. Community radio stations are low-power radio stations, which are meant to be set up and operated by local communities. It provides a platform to air voices among the local community, especially marginalised sections of society, on issues concerning health, nutrition, education, agriculture etc. Moreover, since the broadcast is in local languages and dialects, there is a possibility of more connect among people. According to official statistics, there are 540 commissioned community radio stations in India. These stations are operated by non-profit organisations like educational institutions, NGOs and societies. The Indian government has been actively promoting the growth of community radio, particularly in rural and remote areas, through various initiatives and schemes.
