The overall SoE mission envisages to improve learning outcomes and provide new age learning experience to students in 20,000 (15,000 primary and 5,000 secondary and senior secondary schools) government schools in the State covering about 80% students of the state.
Under the mission, it is proposed to invest in improving physical and digital infrastructure, capacity building of teachers,school leaders and system officials and strengthening school governance in these schools in next six years. The programme is expected to get funding of USD 500 Million from World Bank, 250 Million from Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and corresponding contribution by the State and convergence of other local funds towards the programme.
The programme is an endeavour to provide world class School Education across all districts, blocks and clusters of the State by transforming schools into:
• Residential SoE: Residential schools of excellence will transform all the existing residential schools, GoG will convert its existing residential schools into Residential schools of Excellence. Residential schools will be created for academically bright but deprived students.
• Emerging SoE: Transforming existing 6,000 Primary Government Schools @ minimum of 1 in every cluster. Priority will be given to schools having >300 Students. • Aspirational SoE: Transforming existing 9000 Primary Government Schools with >150 Students and 5000 Secondary & Higher Secondary Government and Grant-in-Aid Schools.
Salient features of Mission Schools of Excellence

• Performance linked investment and infrastructure augmentation at schools
• Focus on academic excellence, Foundation Learning, Higher Order Thinking Skills
(HOTS) and new age learning experiences
• Strengthening school leadership
• Data driven decision making and support

The State’s learning target is achieving grade appropriate learning outcome for grades with provision of instructional materials, teacher guides, and workbooks are provided for each student and teacher.
The Mission Schools of Excellence has been designed to create a strong foundation through a realigned and consolidated school network in the K-12 segment. All schools under the Schools of Excellence (SoE) program will follow a hub-and-spoke model that will support ‘spoke’ schools in improving their quality.
SoEs, at the hub, will mentor ‘spoke’ schools in improving their quality. Critical reforms to enhance instructional processes and remedial measures will be introduced, teacher performance and accountability will be improved, school-to-work transition strategies will be strengthened, and the foundational years will receive additional support.
Teacher support will be strengthened through creation of District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) in uncovered areas. Above all, the state will strengthen its learning assessment systems with more competency-oriented teaching and learning and will prepare for participation in the Program for International Students Assessment (PISA) in 2025, which will require strong institutional support at state and decentralized levels.
The project focuses on systemic reforms to bring about quality and accountability in school education as well as encouraging innovation and flexibility through new approaches, to improve the learning outcomes.

• 20% increase in enrolment: Provide an environment or experience that would attract meritorious students and families from other nearby areas and lead to further consolidation of smaller size schools in the State.
• Progressive Improvement of Schools: Each school is progressing towards higher grades in each cycle of School Accreditation.
• Achievement of Learning Outcomes: 80% students achieving grade appropriate learning outcomes.

The state has provided remedial programsfor grade 2 to ensure their proficiency in reading, writing, and basic counting, and it has carried out the statewide diagnostic evaluation of all 645,000 students in February 2019. The state has also offered intensive remedial learning for those in grades 6–8 (to slow learners) with extra coaching classes for 50 days.
The evaluation of these programs shows significant improvements in learning outcomes. In addition, the state has initiated the uniform summative assessments on 5 subjects for grades 3–8 with centrally designed questions; data from the assessment are being analyzed to identifyremedial courses for students.

(ii) subject-wise teacher system for schools with 4 or more teachers at grades 3–5 to promote subject knowledge among teachers;
(iii) launch of an integrated school administrative software to reduce non-academic workloads of head teachers, related to payroll management, managing service records of teachers, school profiles, etc.; (iv) maintenance of a centralized online attendance system for teachers and students at all levels of schooling across the state; and
(v) launch of the Control and Command Center (CCC) for continuous monitoring (e.g., school attendance), data collection and analysis, and so on.
