The Problem

Students, despite being enrolled in schools, aren’t learning. Teachers often struggle, and are unable to help students learn and build their curiosity and critical thinking abilities for higher order thinking, reasoning and communication. The quality and extent of a student’s achievement is determined primarily by their teacher’s competence, sensitivity and motivation, as stated in the National Curriculum Framework, 2005.
With limited access to quality training, teachers often lack skills to teach effectively and have limited subject matter knowledge.

Our Interventions

A sneak peak into our training program
Since 2016, we have trained teachers in 4 states, across urban, semi-urban and rural geographies
- Urban - We partner with local governments like Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Jaipur Municipal Corporation etc. Our training program is aimed at improving English language teaching skills and thus improve English learning outcomes in children. Digital plays an important role in imparting these trainings
- Semi-Urban – In cities like Nashik, Vasai, Jabalpur our focus is on the Magic classroom ideology, breaking mental blocks and building teacher’s confidence.
- Rural - In rural areas like Halol in Gujarat we not only offer training but also improve infrastructure.
- Pehlay Akshar App - As our unique self-help group model builds capacity in Government schools, we similarly use Pehlay Akshar App to support our teachers digitally. The app delivers relevant content and provide teaching aids, lesson plans, worksheets and activity idea bank.
