REDEFINING
The FPJ Mumbai School Survey 2025 is built on a robust, rubric-based framework designed to understand what makes good schools great. It evaluates schools across eight parameters from classroom learning and teacher voice to inclusion, sports, and well-being. Each response was thoroughly screened, then reviewed by an independent jury, and analysed for consistency and depth of implementation. As per practice, the survey does not rank schools, but recognises excellence that is authentic, data-backed, and contextually meaningful. Here's presenting a list of Outstanding Schools that exemplify the many ways in which Mumbai defines educational excellence.

Menstrual leave not anti-feminist
In a bold move, the Congress government in Karnataka instituted a policy last week to offer paid menstrual leave to women in formal jobs. This entitles working women between 18 and 52 years old in government and private companies to take one day of menstrual leave every month without a medical certificate. Estimates are that it covers nearly 4 lakh women in the formal sector in the state with some of India’s largest IT, fintech, edutech, and healthcare firms. While the policy leaves out, inexplicably and controversially, millions of women working in the informal sector—often with fewer facilities, such as adequate restrooms, and women doing hard physical labour, such as construction workers—it is a progressive and gender-sensitive step forward. The Siddaramaiah government must extend the policy to cover all working women in all sectors and different kinds of jobs for it to have a comprehensive impact.
