Intervention:

Praj Foundation has undertaken a project focused on educating children attending Zilla Parishad government schools, Ashramshala, and low-income private schools in rural and tribal areas of Maharashtra. The target demographic for this initiative includes students ranging from pre-primary to 7th grade, depending on the specific needs of each community.

A detailed baseline survey is conducted to assess the children's proficiency in basic language and numerical skills. Based on the survey results, the students are grouped according to their learning levels. The project includes various components such as teacher training, which emphasizes child pedagogy and equips teachers with effective teaching techniques. Onsite support is also provided to teachers, along with the formation of peer learning groups to encourage collaboration among students.

To make learning more engaging, the project incorporates activity-based and joyful learning methods. Additionally, teachers undergo assessments to enhance their skills and mindset. Progress tracking is carried out through midline and end-line surveys to ensure that the children achieve foundational literacy and numeracy skills by the end of the program.
