Abstract

Education is a topic on which everyone likes to have an opinion. However, relying on personal biases or unverified opinions, whether in individual choices or policy decisions, can be dangerously misleading. To truly make informed and effective decisions about education, it is crucial to base them on reliable data and thorough, systematic analysis. This is where large-scale assessments (LSAs) come into play for data-driven decision-making in educational governance. Students learning data is increasingly being recognized as a critical component of monitoring mechanisms to measure progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the global, regional, and national levels. In India, several LSAs are conducted at national, state and district levels
