Benchmarking & certification

Proof your school puts people first.

See where your faculty stands against national norms, then earn a certification parents and hiring teachers can verify in one click — built on assessment coverage and CPD pace, never on any individual's results.

School benchmarking

Your school, against the country.

Every assessment on the platform quietly builds the national picture. Benchmarking places your faculty's aggregate evidence on it — a percentile for each lens, refreshed as norms grow.

  • Aggregate-only: any lens with fewer than five assessed teachers stays hidden, protecting individuals.
  • Leadership-only view — benchmarks never appear in a teacher's report.
  • Benchmarks describe evidence, never worth — and never rank named teachers.

The certification

Three tiers, one standard.

Certification measures a whole-school habit: assessing the faculty and keeping CPD on pace with NEP's 50-hour year. The rules gate, the Dheya team reviews and issues, and every certificate is valid for one year.

Eligibility is measured live from the platform — your certification page shows exactly where you stand and what remains. Certification reflects coverage and pace only; it never reflects, or reveals, any individual teacher's results.

One link, zero doubt

Verified in public.

Every certificate carries a public verification page — put the link on your website, prospectus and admission brochures. Parents, hiring teachers and inspectors see the school's name, tier and validity dates. Nothing else.

  • Live status — expired or revoked certificates say so, honestly.
  • A machine-readable JSON record for directories and aggregators.
  • Zero personal data — the page never names or scores a teacher.

For every teacher, every year

The annual growth report card.

Once a year, each teacher can generate a one-page record of the year's work: the evidence tiles, competency movement since the last cycle and the CPD ledger — printable, private and written for an appraisal conversation, not a verdict.

It is the teacher-sized companion to school certification: the school shows the country its habit; the teacher shows their year's movement.

Dheya is an independent platform; NEP/NPST alignment describes our framework mapping, not government endorsement. Benchmarks and certifications describe aggregate evidence and participation, never any individual's worth.
