Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Marketing of www.My-Teacher.in

 Sandeep – Sanjivani,

 

 

We are on track to launch www.My-Teacher.in  on 27th

 

Then we will have to put in lots of effort to market it to ( may be ) 15 crore students in 15 lakh schools ( of which, 12 lakh are in 6.4 lakh villages , where internet , may or may not be available )

 

Even the BEST of products ( or services ), need aggressive marketing. Much more so if the market already has, previously established competitive products / service ( late-mover disadvantage )

 

And e-mail marketing is the least expensive / least effort method -  for which we need E-mail IDs of Students / Schools / Principals / Teachers / State Education Boards / State Education Departments – Ministers – Secretaries / Educationists / Text Book Authors  etc

 

Over the next 3 / 4 weeks , whenever time permits , please conduct some online searches for SOURCES from where we can download / compile such email data

 

Do not mix-up all into one database . Depending upon these “ categories “ , create SEPARATE databases

 

Following news report ( in today’s Eco Times ) might provide you with some leads

Just a few clicks away: Pan-India school data      

 

What if with a few clicks on computer, one could pinpoint why students in a particular school in Bihar are doing poorly in Mathematics or why the attendance of girl students is consistently low in schools in a particular block in Maharashtra, or whether a mid-day meal was served to all children in a district in Assam or not?

 

The education ministry's 100-day plan looks to answer these questions and several more to take stock of the true health of our schooling system through its pan-India Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) network.


The aim is that 
within 100 days every state will have its own VSK centre linked to the national VSK and parameters like student and teachers' attendance will be digitally available on a real-time basis across all states on a GIS dashboard.

 

Reason and benefit

The VSK is envisaged as a data warehouse of sorts, soon to be 
linked from New Delhi to every single school over time - government to private, across states - so as to generate comprehensive and interactive data analytics that can enable data-driven policy interventions and customised decision-making in the schooling system.

"What this essentially means is that policy decisions taken at the state level or even central level can now be based on accurate, verifiable and real-time data parameters that can be interpreted for various policy interventions from administrative to learning levels. For instance, a low student attendance in a particular district clearly points to a need for checking up. A high absence of a science teacher can help understand lower STEM learning levels in a school," an official associated with the national VSK centre told ET.

The wheels are moving fast to keep the 100-day deadline.

So far, 29 states and Union Territories are already on board, either having 
launched their own VSK centres or in the final stage of doing so, ET has learnt. The remaining states are being nudged continuously to join in by next month.

ET gathers that Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have recently came on board and Karnataka, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Ladakh and Lakshadweep will join next month, closing the loop.

The education ministry will be holding marathon orientation sessions and regional reviews through June and July in line with the August 15 deadline. But that is not all.

Attendance data apart, the government's VSK network is aiming at adding on several layers, including data on school enrolment/dropout from its U-DISE database to school accreditation, teacher trainingstudent performance assessments, NCERT's National Achievement Survey, PM-Poshan mid-day meal scheme and so on.
