Akshara Foundation believes in partnership with Government. All our remedial programs whether it is maths or reading, we have been working with government schoolteachers. The schoolteachers help us in implementing the programs.

Akshara understand the needs and identifies a model closely linked to the school curriculum. We work with schoolteachers in conducting a pilot and train the master trainers. After which the schoolteachers roll on the program. By doing this, we are actually able to scale up the program and reach thousands of children within the same academic year.

Our reading program has covered four hundred and seventy thousand children and maths program has reached fifty four thousand children covering all schools across Bangalore.

We strongly believe in assessing the impacts of our programs. Therefore all our models have a pre-test and a post-test component. Through which we are able to report the progress of every child who has undertaken our program. The results of the interventions are available on our Karnataka Learning Partnership website. Karnataka Learning Partnership as initiated in the year 2005.
We are also conducting remedial interventions for other subjects and we want to scale it up to other schools across other districts beyond Bangalore.

The program that I’m working is the remedial intervention for math and reading for the
In-school in Bangalore schools. Similar program has been rolled out in the 11 districts across Karnataka last year.
We want to bring all the program under one umbrella working in partnership with the government called Karnataka Learning Partnership.
