Urban EducationIn recent years, India’s government has focused on making schools more accessible, yet the country still struggles with improving the low quality of education. It’s estimated that 53 percent of fifth-graders can’t read at a second grade level. Meanwhile, 46 percent can’t solve a two-digit subtraction problem. Naturally, we all share the goal for every child living in urban poverty to have access to the best education possible. Improving India’s school system, implementing reliable assessment tools, empowering high-quality educators and increasing student outcomes requires a lot of effort by a lot of stakeholders. That’s why we’re working with governments who share our belief in the need for innovative education programs and assessment tools to help children learn and achieve more.
