The parent community are mostly blue-collared workers with limited education. | |||||||||

| Project Description | The Founder, having worked in mainstream education as Project Director of a national school improvement/development program across India, was well aware of the many issues affecting the quality of mainstream school education across the country. In spite of increasing rates of enrolment, it’s universally- recognized, poor quality, was leading to low learning outcomes and high dropout rates. There were many disconnects in education e.g. between teacher and school education, between the school and community, between the child and the curriculum, but most important of all, between the teacher educator and the trainee as also between the teacher and the child in their respective classrooms. There needed to be congruence in the teaching / learning processes adopted in teacher education and schooling. A teacher who has been trained through theoretical lectures cannot be expected to adopt more child-centric approaches in her classroom teaching. Muktangan was therefore set-up in 2003 as an integrated model of teacher and school education with the idea of creating classrooms in both teacher education and schools where the teacher educator could be more responsive to each trainee’s learning needs and the classroom teacher similarly to the child’s. | |||||||||

| Beneficiary Description | The community accessing Muktangan’s schools and teacher educational programs come from the under-served urban communities with many of them being first generation learners with virtually no exposure to English. This is significant as the urban slum population in the country is growing due to rapid internal migration. Our beneficiaries are from migrant communities and belong to different religions. A majority of the working members of these families belong to the un-organized sector. | |||||||||
| Impact | 1. Annually 500+ students from the underserved and less affording communities are educated holistically, with all our Grade x students passing the SSC Board examination and entering higher secondary education. 2. Ongoing Inservice Teacher Education, capacity and skill building to 70 teachers and teacher-educators 3. A demonstration model for outreach and government advocacy programmes | |||||||||
