  1. Don Bosco Schools Self-Review and Evaluation (DBSSRE) Programme.
  2. This is a six-day programme, starting with Orientation Training given by the Adhyayan team. The Adhyayan team trains the school’s team on how to undertake the Self-Review. Team members are drawn from following categories: School Leaders, Teachers, Non-Teaching Staff, Alumni, Management, Administrators, Parents and Students and local neighbourhood community. The Principal leads the Schools Self- Review Evaluation (SSRE) Team.

    On the Self-Review days, Self-Review team led by the Principal will conduct their school’s self-review and collectively assess the school’s performance across 7 Key Performance Areas.

    On the External Evaluation day, the team of Assessors from Adhyayan will conduct an external evaluation across the 7 Key Performance Areas.

    On the Quality Dialogue day, both the teams (External Assessors i.e. Adhyayan and Self- Review Team) come together to collectively asses the school’s performance and build a consensus about it.

    On the Action Planning day, both teams work together to identify key components and processes for the improvement of the school’s performance.
