what is Gunotsav ?

To create a spirit of a high priority for quality education, and to make those in the field of education feel the value of this activity, the state Government in Gujarat took up the state wide assessment, Gunotsav in 2009, with the complete strength of Government machinery, aiming at evaluating primary education and grading of school teachers.The State Government has seen primary education as a grass-root sector and has initiated revolutionary experiments. The Government of Gujarat has initiated a series of steps to improve the level of learning in its schools across the state and wishes to take these efforts forward, so as to achieve a visible and measurable positive change. In primary education, efforts have succeeded in increasing school enrollments and bringing down school drop-out ratio, two major concerns in the education field. The aim is to ensure that Gujarat should be among the top three states of the country in terms of student learning outcomes over the next five years.
