SRINAGAR, JUNE 17: Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE), which has been designated as the State School Standards Authority (SSSA) for the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, organized a three-day workshop titled \u201cSQAAF in J&K: Implementation and Way Forward\u201d from Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Twenty eminent educational experts, administrators and other stakeholders are participating in the programme for the effective contextualization and implementation of the School Quality Assessment and Assurance Framework (SQAAF) in Jammu & Kashmir.<\/p>\n
The workshop seeks to develop a comprehensive roadmap for implementing SQAAF in Jammu & Kashmir, including institutional mechanisms, capacity-building strategies, monitoring frameworks and school support systems required for successful operationalization of the framework. The participants shall undertake a detailed analysis and review of the SQAAF Portal developed by JKBOSE for the Union Territory, as a digital platform to facilitate self-assessment for Government and private schools.<\/p>\n
The portal on operation will be instrumental in data collection, quality monitoring, evidence-based evaluation and continuous school improvement. Technical sessions are being conducted to ensure the portal’s functionality, usability and alignment with the objectives of the School Quality Assessment and Assurance Framework.<\/p>\n
The workshop also aims to contextualize and adapt the key quality indicators prescribed under SQAAF (published by PARAKH, NCERT) to the uniquely diverse educational and geographical realities of Jammu & Kashmir. Special emphasis is being placed on ensuring that the indicators adequately reflect the geographical, socio-cultural, linguistic and infrastructural diversity of the Union Territory while maintaining alignment with national school quality standards.<\/p>\n
Addressing the inaugural session, Gh Hassan Sheikh, Secretary, JKBOSE, highlighted the Board’s evolving role as the State School Standards Authority and reiterated its commitment to establishing a robust, transparent and evidence-based system for assessing and enhancing school quality across the Union Territory. He said the framework will serve as an instrument in bolstering the educational landscape of Jammu & Kashmir, adding that the data collection will prove handy in future policy and technological interventions for improvement in the educational system.<\/p>\n
Dr Parveen Singh, Director Academics, JKBOSE, expressed confidence that the outcomes of the workshop will contribute significantly to strengthening the quality ecosystem of school education in J&K and support the creation of a sustainable framework for educational excellence, accountability and continuous improvement.<\/p>\n
The recommendations emerging from the workshop will serve as a foundation for the phased implementation of SQAAF across schools in the Union Territory, ensuring that every learner has access to quality education in a supportive and enabling environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
