1. Background & Introduction:
- Launched in 2003, the Tata Steel Education Excellence Programme has in the past seven years promoted Excellence in Education in the schools of Jamshedpur and a select few in the vicinity of Tata Steel’s out locations.
- The programme was conceived as a tool to enable schools improve the quality of education so that they may offer greater value to the students and create a culture of excellence to nurture the "citizens of tomorrow."
- A formal committee instituted by the Company governs the programme. All resources required for it are disbursed by the Company as part of its corporate social responsibility.
- Almost all 40 schools (ICSE, CBSE and other boards touching 2500 teachers & 100000 students) regularly participate in this noble and unique private endeavour. The programme is unique in at least following two perspectives.
- Similar programme is being promoted by the government of developed countries notably US, Australia, Europe and Singapore. No-where in the world it is a private initiative of such kind.
- The principal and teachers of schools are trained to take up the role of Assessors as against paid Quality professionals from outside. This has resulted into continuous development of teachers and principals and has brought critical mindset change needed for transformation.
- 17 schools had participated in the award in the first year in 2004.
