Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is an effort to Universalize elementary education by the community – ownership of the School System. SSA is the flagship program of the Government of India which aims at providing Quality elementary education to all children in the age group of 6 to 14 years. In the context of elementary education Quality Dimensions have been identified. Accordingly, Learners Assessment, Monitoring, and Supervision are one of the elementary education Quality Dimension.

The government of India have developed a set of Quality Monitoring Tools(QMTs) that covered different aspects of quality dimensions. These formats rolled out in all the States and UTs. The system of monitoring under SSA envisaged a multi-tiered approach at different levels. The monitoring process involved assessing progress, diagnosing strengths and weaknesses and taking remedial measures according to the needs of teachers, schools and related educational functionaries.
