| Abstract: | This study examines the execution gap between state-level education policy and classroom-level practice in Bihar, India. Using a mixed-methods design that combines policy document analysis, district-level administrative data, teacher surveys, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews with policymakers, school leaders, and community stakeholders, the paper identifies key structural, operational, and behavioral barriers that prevent effective translation of policy into practice. Major findings indicate that policy clarity, resource allocation, capacity of middle-level administrators, teacher professional development, monitoring mechanisms, and community engagement are critical determinants of implementation success. The paper proposes an actionable framework to reduce the execution gap with targeted interventions at the state, district, and school levels. This research also investigates the persistent execution gap between state-level education policies and their classroom-level implementation in Bihar, India. Despite ambitious reforms aimed at improving learning outcomes through initiatives such as teacher training, curriculum renewal, and decentralized planning, classroom realities often remain unchanged. Using a mixed-methods approach combining policy document analysis, district-level administrative data, teacher surveys, classroom observations, and interviews with education officials and community members, the study explores systemic, administrative, and pedagogical barriers that hinder effective policy enactment. Findings reveal that unclear operational guidelines, delayed resource delivery, limited capacity of middle-level functionaries, inadequate follow-up in teacher training, and a compliance-oriented monitoring culture contribute significantly to the gap. The paper argues for a shift toward capacity-based implementation, emphasizing school-embedded coaching, timely resource allocation, and outcome-oriented monitoring mechanisms. The study concludes by proposing a multi-tiered framework for strengthening the link between state policy intent and classroom practice to enhance teaching quality and learning outcomes in Bihar’s public education system. |
