• Key Challenges at Govt. schools

– Teacher absenteeism

– Lack of accountability due to centralized management system

– Very poor infrastructure as depicted in photos of an govt. school in “downtown” Lucknow• The tin-shed inhabiting elementary level kids leaks during rains; burns like fire during summer and freezes during winter

Since Govt./ Aided schools are failing terribly in serving their

purpose of providing quality education to poor children

According to a Harvard research paper:

“If an elementary school student has an excellent

teacher even for a single year, it boosts their income by

an average of about 2 percent per year,” 1

In India, attendance of even regular teachers is

disturbingly low in govt. and aided schools

“The school is nothing more

than a 'Day Care center' for

poor mothers who work as

laborers and domestic helpers

during the day”

Future Plan – Academic year 2013-14

• Target

– Reach semi-urban and rural areas with technological solutions

– Eliminate the major roadblock – dependency on quality teachers who have unreasonable demands

owing to their high bargaining power and mushrooming coaching industry

• Approach

– Develop high quality digital content and lectures in regional and English language considering

special learning requirements of these underprivileged children, using various resources like

• Free high quality content of Khan Academy

• Other high quality digital content available on public resources

11

• Other high quality digital content available on public resources

• Develop in-house content, tests, lectures and learning aids

– Train and employ low cost facilitators (e.g. college students, graduates, intermediate pass) to

moderate the classes at secondary level using video lectures

– Have an online centralized team to answer any question not addressed by the facilitators, in real time

– Under ‘Kalam program’, identify superstar students to teach other average students of same level or

below. Under this peer- to-peer learning program incentivize these ‘Kalam Fellows’ by renewing

their scholarship in the following year based on their own and their students’ performance

• Investment Need

– Rough estimate: Work Underway

– Detailed estimate – work underway
