THE STUDENT CRISIS IN INDIA.

56%
of Students have Learning Gaps
53%
of Students will not be ready for 21st Century Jobs

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the frailties of our education system. The loss of spaces and structures of education led to tremendous loss of learning,as it is established by the APU report on “Learning Loss during the pandemic”. This loss can be, on the one hand, attributed to the resource inequality and the challenges of online zlearning, but on the other hand, to the lack of ownership in our students.

33:1
Student:Teacher Ratio causing lack of Personalization
HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS?

Our Theory of Change is that children learn better in group environments, amongst their peers via discussion, reflection & inquiry. This builds self-awareness, confidence & thinking process in them that improves learning outcomes, skills & ownership. We, as an organization have 3 core principles, co-creation and design with students, led by students, and active participation through choice of students. In order to follow these 3 principles, we follow the ‘Peer Teaching Model’ which reworks the lines of responsibility within and around classrooms.

AN EMPOWERED STUDENT HAS
VOICE AND CHOICE
spaces for meaningful inclusion in classrooms, schools and communities.
SKILLS
strong academic and future ready skills that will enable them to make informed choices & exercise their voice hence contributing meaningfully to the world.
OWNERSHIP
take responsibility and initiative towards their learning goals.
OUR 5 YEAR GOAL

In the next 5 years, we want to develop student agency in 1 million students via various programs of peer based learning with presence in minimum 3 states. We also will work towards policy recommendation to have time allocated for Peer based learning (via curriculum design - Strategies for Peer to peer learning, Bridge program through Peer Teaching)

OUR IMPACT SO FAR

After our programs, our students have been able to improve their foundational learning and have demonstrated improved confidence, taken initiatives, and solved problems in their classrooms, not just for themselves, but also for their peers. We are creating a culture of students learning from each other. Our impact in numbers:
