“After the GEMS Programme was introduced at CMS for the Primary Classes 1-V, we saw a tremendous shift in our Primary on-roll, that is, the additional students sitting in our classes in 2005 versus 2004 went up from 15% to 26% in Primary (as a percentage of all ‘extra’ seats filled across all classes). This share went up to 52% in Primary by 2006 and to 70% in 2007! In effect, our parents endorsed in large numbers the GEMS Programme each year of its implementation.” |

| “The Baseline Survey provided a new slant to the process of assessing a child's abilities and when taken along with the "Progress Reports" the results have been distinctly positive. |
| The graphical representation of results has helped plot every child's personal achievement.” |

| “GEMS has not only helped the children but it has also been very helpful for the teachers. Results of Baseline Surveys have helped us to plan and formulate our curriculum more effectively. Through these results, the teacher can know the strengths and weaknesses of her students in that particular topic.” |
