To strengthen national-level learning, assessment, education management systems, and implementation capacity, the Government of India launched the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) in 2009 for universalising secondary education (14-16 years) across all social groups.
As part of programme delivery, we, as a consortium partner, supported the RMSA partners, including Ministry of Human Resource Development (MoHRD), Government of India, state governments, national apex institutions (NCERT and NUEPA) and donor partners (DFID, The World Bank and European Union) in strengthening and accelerating the delivery of the programme. The scope included supporting need-based education planning and budgeting, learning levels assessment, teacher management and development, financial management, procurement, and data management and use. National-level apex institutions also provided technical assistance to strengthen UDISE (national data management system) and conduct National Achievement Surveys (NAS).
