Monthly Newsletter | November 2025 | Volume 75
November has become a shaping month for India’s education sector, a time when policy shifts, institutional responsibilities and vital conversations take major stage. As schools get ready for the academic year’s last stretch, the month puts the limelight on the deeper pillars that influence education: quality, safety, mental health, trust and equity.
November 2025 headlines mark the ever-developing expectations from the education system and schools. From researching what it really takes to become a “Topper” school, to making sure that commercial fairs will not be permitted inside school playgrounds, as well.
The numbers are alarming globally, and UNESCO’s finding that 133M girls are out of school still pushes us to re-verify access, empowerment and inclusion. In the meantime, the Supreme Court’s call to incorporate mental health in education stresses schools to act immediately, prioritising student well-being with a uniform and structured plan of action.
Delhi’s thrust for school credit and compliance highlights that safety and legitimacy cannot be elective on the governance end. With the CBSE board alarming families about false NCERT textbooks, quality must be protected at all stages.
Therefore, November is a checkpoint, wake-up call, and an invitation to create a safer, more equitable and stronger learning environment for all learners in the country.
