School quality frameworks ask schools to look honestly at every part of their work and plan improvement. CBSE's School Quality Assessment and Assurance (SQAA) framework covers areas including scholastic and co-scholastic processes, infrastructure, human resources, inclusive practices, management and governance, leadership and beneficiary satisfaction. NCERT's PARAKH has also published a School Quality Assessment and Assurance Framework (SQAAF) aligned to NEP 2020.
Schools assess themselves against standards and levels of maturity, supported by evidence. We help you do this accurately and turn the results into a practical improvement plan.

CBSE's framework is called SQAA; NCERT's PARAKH framework is SQAAF. They share the same purpose. We work with whichever framework your board or school is using, based on the current official documents.
