Agartala, July 04: To elevate the standard of education across the state, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Friday launched Tripura School Quality Assessment & Accreditation Framework (TSQAAF) here in a function at Agartala and said that the government has taken a new initiative to identify educational and infrastructural gaps across schools and promote continuous institutional improvement.
“Education is not merely confined to acquiring formal certificates — it is an essential catalyst for awakening ethical values in life. With this vision, Tripura has already taken firm strides in implementing the National Education Policy (NEP),” Dr Saha said.
Addressing the gathering he said that the School Education Department is consistently working towards transforming every school into a centre of excellence by fostering a healthy and competitive academic environment.
Dr Saha said, “Tripura has already become a fully literate state, the third in the country after Mizoram and Goa. The pass percentages in Class 10 and higher secondary levels have improved this year. The Vidayajyoti schools (CBSE) did well in both the exams this year, with the pass percentages increasing by 26 and 21, respectively, compared to 2024”, he said.
Taking inspiration from the NAAC accreditation process at the higher education level, Tripura is now initiating a similar effort at the school level through the Tripura School Quality Assessment & Accreditation Framework (TSQAAF).
