Jamshedpur, Aug. 20: Tata Education Excellence programme’s (TEEP) annual award function will be organised at Tata Auditorium, XLRI on August 22. T V Narendran, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Steel, will grace the occasion as the Chief Guest.

Devi Kar, Executive Director of Modern High School for Girls and the Founder Director of Modern Academy of Continuing Education, Kolkata, will deliver the keynote address.

The TEEP Award function will celebrate the achievements of schools that participated in Tata Education Excellence Programme 2017.

TEEP was introduced in the year 2003, as a tool to enable schools improve the �quality of education� and create a culture of excellence to nurture the �citizens of tomorrow.� Over 65 schools (touching 3500+ teachers & 100,000+ students) of Jamshedpur and nearby outstations have been regularly participating in TEEP.

The programme has evolved both in terms of its reach and quality. In recent years, it has encompassed �semi urban� and �rural� schools to its fold. Making a difference to these schools brings tremendous fulfilment. In the last few years, there has been a shift in focus from �assessment� and �score-based recognition� to more bottom-up qualitative work and related recognition.

The entire �Improvement framework� of TEEP is based on promoting Improvement and Innovation practices and stories by teachers, students, parents etc.
EQUIP (Education Quality Improvement Projects), PANKH, Innoteaching, Teacher Award, Best Club activities are all directed towards creating more and more bottom-up stories. These strategic shifts have continuously helped the programme maintain its vitality.

Awards & Recognition Categories under the Education Excellence Programme: Regular Program, Basic Program and Saral Program. A total of 208 improvement projects were received under all these initiatives. All improvement initiatives were shortlisted based on a defined evaluation criteria and presented before a Jury on EQUIP & EDUQUEST Day in Dec 2017. Winners will be recognized at the TEEP award function.
