THE CHALLENGE of scale and quality

In India, 4.5 million education leaders (who could be administrators, pedagogical coaches, school principals, or community leaders) are responsible for improving the quality of education across 1.5 million schools catering to 250 million children. However, there are limited need based learning and capacity building opportunities for these leaders

World Bank’s World Development Report 2018, says, poor management capacity and lack of autonomy among school leadership are associated with poor education outcomes. Given the scale and diversity in India, there is an urgent need for an environment for leaders to access development opportunities. Each leader’s ability to learn and improve their contexts will lead to systemic change in India’s education ecosystem.

The Solution

An empowered leader drives continuous improvements in her ecosystem and thus, plays the role of an active change agent. 

These improvement journeys get enabled when the leader proactively assesses the situation in her surroundings, identifies the strengths and areas of improvement based on data and available information.

Once she prioritises which areas to improve upon, the leader reaches out to other experts in her ecosystem and learns effective strategies to lead improvements in identified areas. Thus, it is the virtuous continuous cycle of SENSE, MAKE SENSE, CONNECT,  LEARN,  IMPROVE that gets activated and enables a leader towards driving sustainable improvements in their own context. 

ShikshaLokam is catalysing this virtuous cycle of education leadership development through its programs, solutions and open digital infrastructure.
