The pandemic led to a decline in educational performance of many districts in the country, reveals a report from the Ministry of Education (MoE).
The MoE released the Performance Grading Index for Districts (PGI-D) on July 9 as a combined report for 2020-21 and 2021-22 which assesses the performance of school education system at the district level.
Much like the PGI for States released earlier, this report too has 10 grades under which districts are categorised, with Daksh being the highest grade (above 90%), followed by Utkarsh (81%-90%); Ati-Uttam (71%-80%); Uttam (61%-70%); Prachesta-1 (51%-60%); Prachesta-2 (41%-50%); Prachesta-3 (31%-40%); Akanshi-1 (21% to 30%); and Akanshi-2 (11% to 20%). The lowest performance grade is Akanshi-3, for districts that score less than 10%.
