5. Since Govt./ Aided schools are failing terribly in serving their
purpose of providing quality education to poor children
• 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
According to a Harvard research paper:
“If an elementary school student has an excellent “The school is nothing more
teacher even for a single year, it boosts their income by than a 'Day Care center' for
poor mothers who work as
an average of about 2 percent per year,” 1 laborers and domestic helpers
during the day”
In India, attendance of even regular teachers is
- School Principal
disturbingly low in govt. and aided schools

11. 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
• 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
