Private schools in India cater to over 120 million. Despite their remarkable growth in the last decade, they grapple with policy prejudice and regulatory burdens that limit their growth and quality. While researchers have evaluated select regulatory and policy aspects of education governance, there is no substantive research inquiry into the use and impact of subordinate legislations. In collaboration with Central Square Foundation, Trayas will collect, categorise and analyse government orders and resolutions issued to regulate private schools. Executed in six States, the database will serve as a public good and advance our collective understanding of school regulation.
