145 BMC Schools Near QCI Accreditation
A lot of schools in Mumbai run by the city government are getting checked to see if they are good enough.
These schools have been working hard for a year to meet the standards set by a special group called the Quality Council of India.
The city government signed an agreement with this group to help the schools improve.
Teachers and principals have been trained, and the schools have been following new rules to make sure they are doing a good job.
Soon, the schools will get certificates if they pass the checks.
This is all part of a big plan to make sure all schools in Mumbai are as good as the best schools in the country.
145 BMC schools are nearing accreditation from the Quality Council of India (QCI) after a year-long quality assessment drive.
The BMC signed an MoU with QCI to accredit 153 schools, with 145 now prepared for free accreditation under NEP 2020.
The initiative involves training teachers, implementing standard operating procedures, and conducting self-assessments.
All participating schools have submitted applications, completed self-assessments, and received feedback from QCI.
Desktop assessments are currently underway, with onsite evaluations to follow, and accreditation certificates expected shortly.
