Peepul Transforming student learning in government schools in India through high-engagement teaching

Millions of students in India are grappling with significant learning gaps. School leaders and teachers are often overburdened with non-teaching duties and lack the skills and incentives to provide an engaging learning environment. As a result, India is facing a learning crisis despite having the largest schooling system (1.1 million schools) in the world.
