India’s largest School Edtech company LEAD has announced the launch of India’s first Student Confidence Index, a study that assesses confidence levels of school-going students across regions, cities, demographics and various other parameters. Developed in collaboration with Tata Institute of Social Sciences (LMRF, SMLS), LEAD’s Index reveals several powerful insights into student confidence.
While India stands at a confidence level of 75 on a scale of 100, Guwahati’s student confidence index stands at 71. LEAD’s Student Confidence Index assesses the five 21st century confidence-building attributes that are critical for students to succeed in life: Conceptual Understanding, Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Exposure to opportunities and platforms.
Commenting on the Index, LEAD Co-founder and CEO Sumeet Mehta said, “is an annual survey and will help us monitor the confidence level of our students and help us make focused interventions through our education programs.” India’s first Student Confidence Index surveyed 2800+ students across Classes 6–10 in 6 metros, 6 non-metros, and 3 Tier 2/3 cities. The study was administered by market research and survey company Borderless Access.
