The program aims to holistically improve rural government and low fee private schools by working with various stake holders in education. The program adopts a complex systems theory approach to deeply understand system limitations due to interactions between a wide range of causes.

The project began with in school classes on spoken English, Hindi, Mathematical skills, value education and soft skill development. Over time the program evolved into a teacher enrichment program before we realized the need for holistic school wide intervention.

Currently the Education Enhancement Program (holistic school improvement program) has evolved into a comprehensive four-year program that provides day-to-day intervention to empower school education by:

working with the school administration and leadership teams for a holistic development of the schools,
building competencies and capacity among teachers,
developing teaching and assessment tools to aid teaching and learning process of the schools
conducting thinking /life skills’ classes for the students and
engaging parents in the educational process.

The program has worked with 9,545 children, their parents and 310 teachers.

Learning from our experiences and responding to covid-19 we are shifting to setting up an online teacher training program called EmpowerEd.
