Among the seven UTs, Chandigarh bagged top position and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Delhi, Puducherry, Daman & Diu, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep secured 2-7 rank respectively.
SEQI report is prepared on the basis of 30 indicators which are divided into two categories: Outcomes(learning, access, infrastructure & facilities, and equity outcomes) and Governance Processes Aiding Outcomes.
"In line with the Niti Aayog's mandate to foster the spirit of competitive and cooperative federalism, the index strives to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and best practices across states and UTs," Kant said.
This report will help States and UTs to improve the quality of education by letting them know with their strengths and weakness. This instructive feedback will guide them to undertake requisite course corrections or policy interventions.
Niti Aayog Vice-Chairman Rajiv Kumar said, "Now, we see more children in our schools but how much is the learning outcome is the key as school education is the foundation to prepare the future generation."
