Quality Education and Learning Outcomes: Time to Unleash Our Potentials

This paper presents the National Achievement Survey in light of the role of different stakeholders in society to achieve learning outcomes for quality education. The stakeholder as mentioned below by the authors play an immense role in quality education goals, what the authors want to suggest is interlinking of these as it is the right time to unleash potentials of society. The comparative analysis of states with a national average of achievement has been done, further, the analysis has been used to understand the role of civil society especially Non-Governmental Organizations. What the paper highlights are the interlinking of these various stakeholders within themselves and governmental bodies. It suggests how to reduce duplicity of data as well as efforts and usage of time by minimizing independent surveys and analysis, instead of making surveys like the National Achievement Survey as base data due to its authenticity and techniques. The learning outcomes to be obtained as suggested by the education system on the basis of National Achievement Survey results would be potentially achieved when all the stakeholders would come together and unleash their potentials. Keeping this in mind it presents examples of State Government and Non-Governmental Organization on how they are trying to achieve the common goal.
