I have received the Silver Jubilee issue of EducationWorld (November). On this occasion, I would like to express my deep appreciation of your relentless and thankless crusade for the betterment of Indian education, especially of the country’s dormant public schooling system for 25 long years.
Words of appreciation
Thanks for the information packed Kidzone section (PW October). My children love solving the puzzles and DIY creative activity. They even found your suggestions on making the world a better place inspirational. My son is excited about spending his birthday with the inmates of an old age home in the neighbourhood […]
Information gold mine
Congratulations to team EducationWorld for publishing yet another comprehensive school rankings edition (EW October) rating boarding, international, government, budget private and special needs schools under critical parameters of school education excellence. Indeed, a globally unprecedented initiative!
Every year I look forward to your rankings as they provide a […]
Words of appreciation
Thanks for the Kidzone section — it’s interesting and enjoyable. My children love solving the puzzles and DIY creative activity. They also found Fritzee’s Fact File very informative.
Moreover, I enjoy reading the ‘Ask the Doctor’ column every month. The August column by Dr. Ridhi Kaur about developing good sleeping and eating […]
Practical tips thanks
Your Middle Years article on ‘Difficult subjects parents must discuss with children’ (PW September) set off an alarm to address an obligation I have been putting off for months. Especially when smartphones, tablets and the internet have become ubiquitous, and parents are at a loss about ways and means to censor […]
Laudable innovations
Kudos to Team EW for publishing the EducationWorld India School Rankings 2024-25 Part I (EW September). It’s a good decision to publish only the Top 100 co-ed day schools in the print magazine. Not only will this save your organisation costly newsprint but also inspire schools in Tier II-III […]
Shocking neglect
Congratulations for a well-researched cover story ‘Skilling , reskilling, upskilling fever raging countrywide’ (EW August) and informative graphics on the progress report of government skilling schemes thus far.Yet it’s a moot point whether skills education can be provided to a 560 million-strong workforce in quick time. I agree with […]
Your July cover story ‘Avoiding affluenza parenting pitfalls’ was timely and relevant. It beams a harsh spotlight on the dangers of over-indulgent parents raising spoiled brats with scant respect for laws, rules and regulations.
I know several parents in my neighbourhood who to be different from their own authoritarian parents are giving in […]
Condemnable contempt
Your well-designed cover and story ‘Dharmendra Pradhan’s second innings priorities’ (EW July) should serve as a wake-up call to the hon’ble minister who clearly suffers a communication skills deficit. I couldn’t agree more that the second time education minister should speak up forcefully in Union cabinet meetings demanding greater budgetary allocation for […]
Inspiring advice
Your cover story ‘Enabling kids to shine bright in the new academic year” (PW June) was a welcome and timely child motivation and success guide. As a parent of a high schooler who struggles with academics, I thought your expert advice on goal-setting, confidence and resilience building was encouraging.
As parents, we […]
Brilliant summary
Your cover story ‘Bright future for private school education’ (EW June) is a brilliant summary and interpretation of the well-researched State of India K-12: Resilience Amidst Uncertainties Report 2024 published by LoEstro Advisors.
Contrary to assertions of status quo Left-liberals paralysed by inertia and ideological baggage, the growing internationalisation of school education […]
Great hit
Your comprehensive Careers Watch article ‘Sweet Smell of Success in Floriculture’ (PW May) was a great hit with my zesty graduate daughter.
The story’s sharp focus on the career’s economic potential, domestic demand, and export opportunities has inspired her so much that she has begun researching it intensively and plans to plant a […]
Welcome guard change
Congratulations for publishing the comprehensive EW India Higher Education Rankings 2024-25 (EW May) ranking universities across a wide range of parameters of higher education excellence.
I am also delighted to learn that your esteemed magazine has partnered with a new Bengaluru-based field research company led by a highly qualified woman professional to […]
Valuable resource
With the long summer holidays having begun amidst heat wave warnings, your cover story ‘Minding children during the long hot summer’ (PW April) is timely, informative and a valuable resource for parents navigating unusually hot weather.
Thanks for the practical tips from medical professionals to safeguard children from summer ailments such as dehydration and […]
Overdue recognition
Congratulations for publishing the comprehensive EW India Higher Education Rankings 2024-25 (EW April) to help school-leavers make informed college choices. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my low-profile alma mater Govt. Holkar (Model Autonomous) Science College, Indore has been ranked among the Top 10 government autonomous colleges for the past three years […]
Promising times ahead!
Your cover story ‘Modi government’s education report card 2014-24’ (EW March) offers a refreshing perspective on the NaMo government’s performance in the education sector.
I agree with Prof. Rishikesh’s views that over the past decade of BJP rule at the Centre, education has received high visibility with the long overdue introduction of […]
Develop exams positivity
With rising incidents of children experiencing panic attacks and nervous breakdowns during the exams season, your cover story ‘Helping children during exams season’ (PW February) was timely and welcome.
I agree with Dr. Venkatesh Babu’s view that in the new age of social media, parents need to take exam stress more seriously than […]
Must-read cover feature
As a regular reader of EducationWorld, I enjoyed reading Sridhar Rajagopalan’s insightful cover story ‘What’s wrong with India’s K-12 education and how to right it’ (EW February). I must commend the learned author for his diagnosis and prescription for righting the infirmities of India’s primary-secondary school system, especially of the deep-rooted problem […]
Unaccepting adults
I enjoyed reading your cover story on sustainable practices (PW January). I work for a non-profit that supports initiatives to protect the environment. When we conduct workshops and awareness programmes in schools, I must admit it’s an absolute pleasure to watch children’s faces light up at the thought of spending time outdoors with […]
Neglect outcome
Your cover story analysing the reasons why India pulled out of PISA 2022 (EW January) was well argued.
Let’s face it! The time has come for India to accept that years of education neglect has resulted in poor student learning outcomes. We need to devise strategies to overhaul teaching-learning. Running away from competition […]
Timely & useful advice
Your Health and Nutrition column (PW December) ‘Protecting children from air pollution’ was timely and informative. With the onset of winter, children in major cities are being exposed to high levels of toxic air pollution which is causing respiratory infections and other health problems. Pulmonologist Dr. Ganesh Pratap’s preventive measures were […]
Commendable service
I am a regular reader of EducationWorld and want to thank Team EW for publishing the well-researched preschools rankings survey in 17 cities (EW December).
In most metros and tier II cities, I noticed the inclusion of a large number of new preschools in the league tables which shows that there is huge demand […]
Well-researched & informative
Your cover story suggesting natural remedies for minor illnesses (PW November) was informative and well-researched. My three-year old son was born premature (32 weeks) and till date is small-made and fragile.
Speaking from my own experience, simple, natural remedies work best for minor illnesses, and spare children the side effects of strong antibiotics, […]
Generous compliment
Happy 24th anniversary! Congratulations to EducationWorld for publishing thought-provoking, challenging, iconoclastic features that rival the best journalistic output.
Nothing I have read anywhere on the subject of education, matches this publication for its scope, variety and mindfulness.
Take a bow!

Practical solution
I am a regular reader of EducationWorld. Your […]
‘Special parents’ of special children
What I found inspiring in your cover story ‘Parenting primer for children with disability’ was the emphasis on parents practicing self-care to be able to “run the marathon of caring for children with special needs”. I am the mother of a hyperactive seven-year-old, who has suffered delayed speech but is […]
Restrict children’s access to violent content
Your cover story titled ‘Managing rising wave of child aggression’ (PW October) touched a deep chord. In the age of the Internet and social media, children are exposed to insidious content glorifying violence, exploitation and abuse. Parents should install parental control apps to restrict children’s access to all violent […]
Information gold mines
Heartiest congratulations to EducationWorld for publishing the mammoth Part I and Part II volumes of the EW India School Rankings 2023-24. Both issues are gold mines of information for aspirational parents.
In particular, it was a pleasant surprise to see the non-profit Future Hope School, Kolkata — located in my neighbourhood — […]
Useful advice
My four-year-old daughter is very shy and avoids all male children in the apartment and plays only with the girls. I was pleasantly surprised when I read Dr. Sachin Baliga’s reassuring response to a parent with a similar problem in your ‘Ask your Counselor’ section (PW September). His suggestions to help her overcome […]
Welcome evolution
Congratulations for bringing out the humongous 394-page EducationWorld India School Rankings 2023-24 Part I (EW September).
It’s compelling evidence of your claim that it is the world’s most comprehensive and detailed schools rating and ranking survey. Special thanks for including sports education and mental and emotional well-being services as parameters to assess schools which […]
Valuable feedback
Your special coverage of the pre-draft NCF-SE (EW August) is exhaustive and incisive for its value, pertinence and transformatory character in the context of recasting school education. I consider your critical assessment as one of the key check-points so far as the value of our efforts is concerned. I am convinced that it […]
Educative & informative
Your cover story ‘Free-range parenting phenomenon’ (PW July) was educative and informative. Till date, I was familiar only with helicopter, tiger and bulldozer parenting styles.
Now I believe free-range parenting is perfect for Gen Z as our children have access to limitless information on the internet and are far more independent than […]
Liberalise education
Your insightful cover story ‘Licence-permit-quota raj despair in K-12 education’ (EW July) was alarming. I couldn’t agree more with the authors who say that with opportunities for rents-seeking declining in industry, LPQ raj has migrated to K-12 education.
There is urgent need for the Central and state governments to liberalise and improve their ease-of-doing […]
Overdue wake-up call
Your well-researched cover story ‘Rising tide of child and youth suicides’ (PW June) supported by a wealth of data, sent shivers down my spine. It’s an overdue wake-up call for unsuspecting middle-class parents who believe that topping national entrance exams is the prerequisite of success in later life. The time has come […]
Absolute gems
Your cover story ‘America’s hidden gems private universities’ (EW June) was an absolute gem especially for school-leavers like me exploring higher education options beyond Ivy League universities
The 14 universities of the Michigan Colleges Alliance seem to offer excellent higher education with the added advantages of low teacher-pupil ratio, plus internship and placement opportunities […]
Important life skill
Inspired by your Health and Nutrition section on summer coolers (PW April), on a particularly hot day last week, my daughter rustled up an appetizing lemon-mint punch! She even greased the rim of the glass with tangy lime and chaat masala. Thank you for sharing simple recipes which children can manage. Learning […]
Intelligent rankings
Congratulations to EducationWorld for publishing yet another comprehensive higher education rankings issue (EW April and May). It has intelligently rated and ranked junior and undergrad colleges and universities across the country under critical parameters of higher education excellence.
Our senior school students look forward to and benefit immensely in making informed higher education […]
Gen Z prone to high stress
Your cover story ‘Natural therapies best option’ (PW April) is timely and relevant. I believe that Gen Z is more prone to stress and anxiety that any previous generation. Ubiquitous social media, peer pressure, digital gadgets, burden of parental expectations etc have led to children experiencing high stress, loneliness, […]
GDCW pride
I was delighted to learn that my alma mater — Government Degree College for Women, Begumpet, Hyderabad — is ranked among India’s Top 3 government autonomous colleges in the EW India Higher Education Rankings 2023-24 (EW April).
Congratulations to principal Dr. Padmavathi, faculty and students for continuing the GDCW tradition of empowering women […]
Refreshing suggestions
Thanks for your very refreshing summer activities suggestions in the latest cover story (PW March). My children are 10 and 12 years respectively, and keeping them busy during the summer holidays is a herculean task. I especially liked your Connecting with Nature recommendations. Most of the year, children are so busy juggling packed […]
Enlightening comment
As much as your cover story ‘National Curriculum Framework (NCF) for School Education: Great Expectations’ (EW March) highlights the urgent need for NCF to standardise the quality of school education countrywide, it also exposes the confusion that most educators have about NCF, its purpose and implementation.
Be that as it may, I was […]
