Education is most important driver for success of any nation. Therefore, quality of education and its delivery can be a key predictor of success of any society. In spite of good infrastructure and excellent financial backing many schools do not find place in league of top schools. 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.

Education is most important driver for success of any nation. Therefore, quality of education and its delivery can be a key predictor of success of any society. In spite of good infrastructure and excellent financial backing many schools do not find place in league of top schools. 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.
