Mission Education

Case Study (22-October-2020)

Despite increased funding, expansion of different educational levels and many reforms, most education systems around the Uttarakhand have not yet found effective ways to improve outcomes to prepare students for achieving grade appropriate learning levels. As per ASER 2019, three out of four children in Uttarakhand cannot solve previous grade questions. The learning outcomes among children are low in the state, but the good part is the government and organizations like Himmotthan has been working on improving the quality of education in the state.

Himmotthan has been working with the government of Uttarakhand for the last five years with a single objective--to improve the learning outcomes for children studying in government primary schools across the 5 districts of state. We have already implemented our Library program in over 130 schools and this year, we have introduced our Early Literacy, Numeracy and Sports program in the state. The state and district-level teams were all set to roll out the teacher training program under which we train teachers in Himmotthan unique and interactive teaching methodologies and provide them with innovative teaching tools comprised of an exclusive Library session training (Read aloud and Book Talk), TLMs, videos and more. Hopefully, in coming years Himmotthan will achieve the grade appropriate learning under Mission Education Program.
