This shift has brought lots of challenges to the Management, Principals, Teachers, staff and other stakeholders. This study is aimed at understanding challenges faced by Indian Schools and identifying drivers for high performance in school education.

It is a known fact that the present school system is radically different from the model followed in the past. This shift has brought lots of challenges to the Management, Principals, Teachers, staff and other stakeholders. This study is aimed at understanding challenges faced by Indian Schools and identifying drivers for high performance in school education.
