The mission to improve the quality of education in India and ensure that all children not only attend but also thrive in school is being accomplished by working in collaboration with the government, local communities, parents, teachers, volunteers, and civil society members. Our programs aim to supplement rather than replace governmental efforts. They are implemented on a large scale to not only reach as many children as possible, but also to create an adoptable demonstration model for state governments.
ACET’s strategies reconfigure teaching methodologies, break down traditional tactics,
and challenge the current rote learning mechanisms in our schools. Our programs are innovative and outcome-driven. In its early years ACET developed innovative teaching-learning approaches, materials, and measurement methods. In 2016, we pioneered a nationwide survey of schooling and learning that has had a major impact on national and international policy discussions.
ACET has worked to develop low-cost, replicable models that can easily spread and be adopted by other organizations. Thousands of volunteers work with ACET to implement learning interventions at the grassroots level. These volunteers are mobilized, trained, and monitored by the ACET team. They are also provided with teaching-learning material and books developed by ACET . Not only does this ensure more effective implementation of the programs, but it also helps to build an infrastructure focused on providing quality education to children.
All programs are designed to ensure that learning levels in schools and communities increase, education reaches all children who are in school or unable to use school facilities, and youth get well trained for job opportunities. Testing tools are also developed by the ACET team to check the learning levels of children so as to determine the course of action best suited to each child and to assess impact of our programs.
