| Project Description | Ganitha Kalika Andolana (GKA) is a multi-stakeholder initiative for improving the mathematics learning outcomes of India’s government school system. Since 2015, it has been taught to children from grades 1 to 5 based on the philosophy of ‘Activity Based Learning’ (ABL). It is a robust and effective model that engages multiple stakeholders to facilitate learning inside classrooms and at home. GKA has benefitted over 7 million children studying in Government Primary schools in Karnataka, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh till date. The Numeracy at Scale Study cites Akshara Foundation's flagship - Ganitha Kalika Andolana (GKA), as one of six successful programmes from across the world to have improved early grade numeracy outcomes at scale. | ||||||

| Impact | 1. System Level- Scale is enabled through public policy. The System Leader- State Government’s buy- in (through multi-year MoUs) and financial commitment is key as is the commitment of various cadres of the State Education Department to support implementation. 2. Teachers- Quality is enhanced by providing learning tools to teachers in classrooms and system- wide capacity. Till date over 200,000 teachers and education administrators have been trained, both physically and digitally. 3. Children- Bringing experiential activity-based math learning to over 7 million government primary school children cumulatively over the last 8 years across 90,000 schools in Karnataka and Odisha. 4. Building Blocks, the Math learning app enables at-home digital learning for the child and is deployed through “Energized Text Books (ETB)” anchored by DIKSHA. 5. Community Level (Gram Panchayats and Village Administration, Parents, School Development & Monitoring Committees, Community members) - Catalyzing community interaction with the government school system, by empowering them with local learning quality data. A cadre of ~55,000 community volunteers in villages across Karnataka and Odisha have been mobilised by Akshara and they work absolutely pro bono in implementation of GKA | ||||||
