At Reach to Teach Foundation, we are currently focusing on the North Eastern States of India. Our endeavour is to try and bring about comprehensive transformation in school education, in the States we work in. Our current work is in the States of Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya.

In order to monitor and evaluate our work, we have a programme embedded MEL framework. We use technology as an enabler and a multi modal approach by using existing tech infrastructure in the State to create outreach.

Key Interventions

The School Readiness Programme (SRP) aims to help students settle into their school routine through six weeks of preparatory activities. It is designed to take place during the first six weeks of the academic year, helping students readjust to the routine of coming to school, interacting with peers, participating in classroom activities, and resuming their learning. Covering classes 1-5, the SRP activities are focused on social and emotional learning (SEL), English and Mathematics, and are culturally contextualised.

The Learning Recovery Programme (LRP) is aimed at bridging students’ learning gaps, enabling them to participate in learning at their appropriate grade-level. Spanning Classes 1 to 12, the LRP focuses on equipping students with the pre-requisite skills (aligned with critical learning outcomes) they must have to be able to meet the rigour of the class they are in. The aim is for students to acquire these pre-requisite skills rapidly to avoid chances of them lagging further in their academic achievement. To facilitate this process, the material developed has elements of experiential and activity-based learning and is contextualised to the local needs. Resources are developed for teachers and students, and a series of trainings for stakeholders across the education system are carried out as part of the programme.

The Learning Enhancement Programme (LEP) is intended to strengthen school and classroom processes to significantly improve learning achievement and prepare students to acquire advanced knowledge and skills. The LEP aims to enhance grade-level learning and help students attain expected learning outcomes.

Aimed at supporting students in appearing for and enhancing their performance in the Board examinations, this toolkit consists of academic resources and guidance for students and teachers. It creates opportunities for teachers to guide students in their revision and allows students to become self-learners through plenty of practice. The toolkit includes a significant socio-emotional component that guides teachers to help students cope with the Board examination pressure in an emotionally healthy manner.

To enhance the teaching and learning outcomes in Government schools, we have designed a Comprehensive School Transformation Programme that focuses on learning enhancement across Classes 1 to 12 across all Government schools. This is carried out by engaging with all stakeholders in the education ecosystem of the state. The interventions are in alignment with the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP 2020). The key intervention areas of this programme include academic reforms (learning assessments, remediation, and learning enhancement programmes), capacity development of teachers, head teachers, and other system officials, community engagement (deepening involvement of parents, School Management Committees, and the larger community in school development process) and governance reforms to improve teaching and learning outcomes.
