The Education Alliance: School Quality Enhancement Program (SQEP)

The Indian public education system needs to transform to better serve its young learners. Evidence has repeatedly shown that children, specifically those attending public schools, have poor learning outcomes. Efforts to fix this have largely been in silos - curricular changes, teacher training, student assessments, etc. Few interventions have created any impact at scale.

 	


 	
Millions of children are still out-of-school despite RTE guaranteeing free primary education.




 	


 	
Indian students lag behind on basic learning outcomes. This learning crisis starts early where by the time children are in Grade 5, five out of ten children do not have basic foundational literacy and numeracy skills.




 	


 	
Government schools are severely under resourced, and perform poorly which has led parents to believe that private schools will offer better education where in reality, it is only marginally better, and not quality education.
