LLF has also been continually engaging with the education department at multiple levels to share the CCE EMIS data on learning levels.
LLF is happy to note the pioneering steps taken by the Govt., towards tech-based school monitoring platforms, utilizing a framework for real-time monitoring and analytics of academic indicators. This is a huge step towards institutionalizing data-backed decision making structures and processes.
As one of the dignitaries mentioned "by providing technology access to teachers and by providing a platform for better monitoring of school-level academic indicators, Jharkhand will soon be on top of the list on student learning levels". And LLF will strive to continue providing technical support to the state government in its efforts to improve the quality of learning and learning levels of its students.
