ARISE Code of Ethics

ARISE is an independent body that brings together some of the country’s most progressive and intellectual minds across School Promoters, Edupreneurs & leaders who remains committed and focussed on serving as a beacon for change within the diverse and dynamic landscape of India’s school education system. Living the motto ‘Student First’, ARISE recognizes the complexity and the unique challenges faced by both independent private schools and public / government schools and will continue to play an important role to be a collaborative platform to bring together forward-thinking school founders, educators policy makers, think tanks, educationists, civil society experts and technical experts to collaborate and work together to solve the challenges that tend to slow down the progress in India’s school education reforms in India where the school education system is one of the largest and most complex in the world. ARISE aims to foster healthy and progressive relations with ministry of education at both the centre and states along with key policy makers to help solve the complexity and the unique challenges faced by both independent and public aided schools.

ARISE was originally founded in Year 2016 by a group of reputed School Leaders and educationists under the aegis of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) with an aim to unify the sectors’ voice to create a meaningful impact on regulators at state and central level. Over the last 7 years, FICCI ARISE has created the much-needed impact in the sector and has been instrumental in enabling path breaking reforms in key policy initiatives and has also published many research papers that cover key challenges faced by k12 schools including sensitive areas such as child safety and security, quality accreditation among others. ARISE will now continue this journey as an independent body with collaboration and support from FICCI.

ARISE also recognizes the rights of students as individuals by establishing the rules and regulations necessary to create a suitable curricular and co-curricular climate as well as safe learning environments.

As we approach a decade of existence, ARISE (formerly known as FICCI ARISE) has built a reputation for excellence in Education for all and it is enhanced by innovative research assisted by knowledge partners like EY, KPMG, CSF, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas amongst other educationists and think tanks. We have earned the confidence of our member stakeholders and the respect of our community and the Central and State Governments through the ethical conduct of our practices and initiatives.

ARISE stands for honesty and integrity, self-regulation, transparency, accountability, equity, and access through Public and private partnerships, championing best practices in Education through Advocacy and ensuring a unified and strong voice among the Regulators and not against them.

To ensure this, we are pleased to introduce the ARISE Code of Ethics:

Conclusion:

We rely on one another’s good judgment to uphold a high standard of integrity for ourselves and our body/alliance. So we expect all members and employees to be guided by both the letter and the spirit of this Code
