EDUCATION IS CHANGE

We create and implement English programs with customized content and methods, all carefully designed to be effective, easy, enjoyable, and empowering for both children and teachers. We work in vernacular medium government schools up to eighth grade to bring them to their grade-level proficiency in the shortest possible time.

However,

There is a large foundational skills gap, including in English, preventing the bulk of young India from being employable and reaching their potential.
Over 51% of children in the fifth grade cannot read simple three-letter words, despite having English in their curriculum from 1^st grade in most states.
The huge learning gaps in primary years lead to lower confidence and inability to cope with higher education, including STEM.
National Education Policy (draft) of 2019 recommends that functional English be taught as an additional language in a high-quality manner to young children to break the current divide between the economic elite and the rest of the country.

STEPPING UP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Step Up For India designs and implements English programs in resource-poor, non-English medium government schools — to instill in children a sense of confidence towards independent learning. We provide comprehensive solutions to help those children who are inclined to drop out of higher classes — accounting for upto 36% of students — cope with their curriculum.

We have partnered with the Department of Education, Karnataka to deliver remedial assistance, resources, and training to make learning more effective, easy, and enjoyable. Working within existing frameworks, we understand ground realities and tackle them with precise interventions in a two-pronged, result-oriented approach.

Our two-pronged approach

Teacher Support

Government school teachers are provided with scripted lesson plans, custom tools, and training to improve their English skills and teach more effectively. This fosters better participation and learning in students.

Volunteer Intervention

In schools where additional support is required, English-speaking volunteers are trained with customized teaching materials and provided with timely support to help students improve English skills in as short a time period as possible.
