The Problem

separator

*UDISE data for 2015 - 16

Students are in school but not truly learning. Teachers struggle to nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and communication due to limited training and subject expertise. As the National Curriculum Framework (2005) states, student success depends on a teacher’s competence, sensitivity, and motivation.

Empowering Teachers Since 2016

We’ve been on a mission to transform English language teaching across urban, semi-urban, and rural communities in four states. Through a combination of in-person training and digital support, we’re equipping teachers with the skills and confidence they need to inspire students.

  • Urban Impact
    In collaboration with BMC, PMC, Jaipur MC, TMC, and other local partners, we’re enhancing English teaching through structured programs and digital tools, ensuring classrooms become vibrant hubs of learning.
  • Semi-Urban Focus
    In places like Nashik, Vasai, Jabalpur, Pune, and Vasai-Naigaon, we’re introducing the Magic Classroom approach. This innovative method breaks mental barriers and builds teacher confidence, creating dynamic and inclusive learning spaces.
  • Rural Outreach
    From Halol in Gujarat to Vasai and Naigaon, we’re driving grassroots change by providing essential training and infrastructure support to teachers, empowering them to bring quality education to their communities.
  • Pehlay Akshar App
    Our Pehlay Akshar App is a comprehensive digital resource designed to support teachers in government schools. With lesson plans, worksheets, activities, and teaching aids, we’re helping educators bring English learning to life.

  • Vaishali Kasare

    My name is Vaishali Kasare. I teach science to Grade 9 and 10 students in the secondary section of Worli Seaface Municipal School. Last year, we were trained in the Teacher Training program of Pehlay Akshar. The Magic Classroom idea of Pehlay Akshar is built on 3 pillars: Appreciation, Engagement and Motivation. We were taught to instil these three important aspects in our students through activities, in which we were all involved. This taught us how to execute these concepts in real life. I would like to thank Pehlay Akshar for conducting the program with us.

  • Deepa Yashwant Surve

    My name is Deepa Yashwant Surve. I teach at Worli Seaface Secondary English School. I used to find it difficult to teach many students together – as they are teenagers and their level of understanding varies from each other at this stage. Last year, I enrolled in RPG’s training program for teachers. We were taught that teachers need to change their teaching method; we learnt how to appreciate children and motivate them. Now there’s uniformity among the kids in class. Now, it is fun teaching and even the kids like to learn. Those who were not interested in studies, now enjoy studying every subject. All this has happened because of RPG’s Pehlay Akshar Teacher Training program.
