What is NABET?

Last week, I had written a BLOG on the Education Minister’s move to have CBSE schools rated.

National Accreditation Board for Education and Training (NABET) is the country’s first initiative to certify and rate educational institutions. Rating is done on the basis of standards developed by the Quality Council of India, its parent organization.

Quality Council of India is a non-profit, autonomous body set up jointly by the Government Indian Industry, to establish and operate national accreditation structure and to promote quality through nation- wide quality campaign.

Copy of the Accreditation Standard for quality school governance issued by NABET in September 2008 is attached in this BLOG. NABET accredits primary, secondary and higher secondary schools.

One of the first schools to get a certification from NABET is Kendriya Vidyalaya at R.K. Puram, Delhi. NABET has around 40-50 schools in the pipeline for rating.

For government schools, NABET has a program of preparing a program to get them to a minimum standard.

NABET is a pioneer in this field and we will see a lot more school rating agencies in future. Hopefully, this entire process of rating is executed properly and parents get objective information on the quality of a school.
