He designed and quality assured the instructional videos on school improvement planning and training guides which led to its popularization among school heads, teachers and community members. He led the SED’s data analytics team in developing the school typology, school remoteness, and teacher hardship indices, which were used for equity-based resource allocation, and program targeting.
