We work with state and local governments to identify and bring on board declining government schools in areas of high disadvantage and put in place a high-quality teaching
India is at the edge of an education crisis of epic proportions. There are ~200 million students attending schools; however, data shows that 53% of fifth graders cannot read even a Grade 2 textbook. For the 113 million students in government schools, the situation is particularly acute. These children are from the most disadvantaged, vulnerable communities, belonging to the poorest of the poor families in India.
Our belief is simple - every child in a government school should receive a high-quality education, regardless of background or circumstance, that allows them to realize their full potential. Good quality education should be a right and not a privilege. We work with state and local governments to identify and bring on board declining government schools in areas of high disadvantage and put in place a high-quality teaching environment.
Our objective is to create a proof-of-concept of a school that is being run within government premises in a sustainable manner but with greater autonomy, accountability and significantly improved learning outcomes.
