Haryana, Meghalaya, Daman & Diu show most improvement in SEQI released by NITI Aayog

New Delhi, Sep 30 (UNI) Haryana, Meghalaya, Daman and Diu showed maximum improvement in the first edition of School Education Quality Index (SEQI), developed by NITI Aayog to evaluate the performance of States and Union Territories in the school education sector.
All seven UTs have shown an improvement in their overall performance scores. The average improvement is 9.5 percentage points.
Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Puducherry improved their overall performance scores by 16.5, 15.0 and 14.3 percentage points respectively, which enabled them to improve their ranking on incremental performance.
The other large states perform better on the Governance Processes Aiding Outcomes category, with the most noticeable performance differences observed in the cases of Odisha, Punjab and Haryana.
The index aims to bring an 'outcomes' focus to education policy by providing States and UTs with a platform to identify their strengths and weaknesses and undertake requisite course corrections or policy interventions.
The first edition of SEQI was released by NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Dr Rajiv Kumar where Aayog Member Dr Vinod Paul and CEO Amitabh Kant were among those present.
Of the eight small states, seven performed better on the Outcomes category, with the most noticeable performance differences observed in the cases of Manipur, Tripura and Goa. Sikkim is the only Small State that performed better on the Governance Processes Aiding Outcomes category.
Of the seven UTs, four performed better on the Outcomes category, with the most noticeable performance differences observed in Dadra & Nagar Haveli. Delhi, Daman & Diu and Lakshadweep perform better on the Governance Processes Aiding Outcomes category.
In line with NITI Aayog’s mandate to foster the spirit of competitive and cooperative federalism, SEQI strives to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and best practices across States and UTs.
