FPJ Mumbai Schools Survey 2025: Excellence In Parent & Community Partnerships
According to the FPJ survey findings, nearly 85% of schools maintain regular communication with parents, using apps, circulars and scheduled meetings to keep families involved in a child’s academic life.
Mumbai: The Free Press Journal released the results of the FPJ Mumbai Schools Survey 2025 today, marking the third edition of Mumbai’s most transparent and merit-driven school assessment.
With participation from schools across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai, the survey once again mapped how institutions are evolving beyond academics. One of the key parameters reviewed this year was excellence in parent and community partnerships, an area that increasingly defines how schools function as extended ecosystems.
According to the FPJ survey findings, nearly 85% of schools maintain regular communication with parents, using apps, circulars and scheduled meetings to keep families involved in a child’s academic life. About 70% of schools go a step further by involving parents as guest speakers, panellists, or participants in cultural and academic events.
However, the survey reveals a noticeable gap in deep collaboration. Only 10–15% of schools have moved beyond routine engagement to embrace true partnership models where parents, alumni and neighbourhood communities take part in mentorships, school-led initiatives, community outreach, and student development programmes.
Survey evaluators noted that while communication channels are strong, schools are still transitioning towards shared decision-making and long-term parent-led projects.
