From Classroom to System: The Role of Youth in Scaling School Change
What happens when young people don't just teach in the government school ecosystem but actively work towards changing it from within?
The Right to Education Act has greatly pushed primary enrolment rates, achieving near-universal access to primary education. However, enrollment doesn't equal learning. A staggering number of students are falling behind grade-level expectations, lacking foundational literacy and numeracy skills. Schools are stretched thin with too few trained teachers, too many students, systems still catching up, and leadership pulled in a dozen directions.
A holistic ecosystem approach is required to address this issue. It requires not just working with students and teachers, but also with school leadership, community members, and improving learning infrastructure.
Join us for a conversation on how young people are bringing holistic, ecosystem change in education.
