(not more than 5% of

the balance going to

landfills)

Aspects of the Study Student performance in Class 4,6,8 in Science, Social Sciences,

Mathematics and English

Student attitudes and values Learning environments & organizational aspects of the school

- Structure, decision making, leadership's vision and thinking,classroom practices etc

- co-scholastic areasand facilities provided

Issues with best schools in India Fall in student performance compared to a similar study 5 years back and

the best schools in India performed below the global averages

Matters of concern on student attitudes and values level that could overtime grow into biases and prejudices that could affect society

At the learning environment level: Significant gap in the what leadership wanted and actual practice Teachers do not get to participate in important decisions Strict disciplining, including through physical means, is sanctioned byteachers and principals

Constructivist methods are not practiced in the classroom Difference in how principals and teachers view co-scholastic areas (art,

sport etc) and the facility and time they actually provide in their schools

Wipro partnered with Educational studies to conduct a

Quality Education Studyin Indias leading private schools.

Wipro IT climate solutions portfolio

A study by McKinsey published in October 2008 suggests that in just five sectors of Manufacturing, Transportation, Buildings, Power and

Dematerialization, innovative IT solutions can contribute to as much as 35% of the potential GHG reductions by 2020. This reduction far exceeds the

almost doubling of emissions of the IT sector itself during this period - from 0.86 gigatons in 2007 to 1.54 gigatons in 2020, the latter in spite of the

steady increases in the energy efficiency of IT infrastructure.
