Government-Partnership Schools Model

What is GPS?

The Government-Partnership School (G-PS) model is one that promises to deliver a high quality of learning, and bring back enrolment to government schools. This model capitalizes on the opportunity to leverage existing government assets, and the professional experience of high quality non-profit organizations.

Promise of Government-Partnership Schools

In 2015, an independent research conducted by Gray Matters India on the Government-Partnership School Model evaluated 30 Government-Partnership Schools, 19 Government schools and 12 Private Aided schools across urban and rural locations. The study has shown that students from Government-Partnership Schools (G-PS) and Government schools have similar demographic profiles and their parents spend equally on education. Despite this, G-PS Schools achieve improved outcomes:

In English and Maths, in both Grade 3 and Grade 5, G-PS students perform better than Government School students
Some G-PS model perform at par with schools that serve more affluent families.

Some of the reasons that G-PS schools are able to deliver better outcomes include the following:

They follow better classroom practices
Progressive methods of learning are used
Leaders focus on holistic outcomes
They continuously engage with the community
Teachers work harder
Teachers undergo comprehensive training

This has led to high demand for G-PS Schools.
