These are not twelve independent projects. They are twelve parts of one operating system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClass pass \u2260 learning achieved\u201d is the central diagnostic rule. Enrolment, attendance, infrastructure and marks matter, but none alone proves that a learner can read with understanding, reason mathematically, apply knowledge, work with others or make an informed future choice.<\/p>\n<p>The national framework therefore begins with a place and a baseline. A state policy can be strong while a district lacks capacity; a district average can hide a remote school; a school record can hide unequal experience by gender, disability, language or income.
