Factors leading to education crisis

1 ASER 2012 Survey by PRATHAMTeam Problem Solution –P1 Solution-P2 Implementation Cost Analysis Partnership

Interaction with excellent teachers during early school stage bears long

lasting impact on future career but our kids face mass teacher absenteeism

If an elementary school student has an excellent teacher even for a single

year, it boosts their income by an average about 2% per year

Harvard

Research

says1

Most of the teachers are either not competent enough (private schools) or their

attendance is disturbingly low (Govt. and Aided schools)

Harsh

Reality in

India

“The school is nothing more

than a free day care centre for

poor mothers who work as

labourers or domestic helps

during the day”

– Principal, Govt. Aided

school in central Lucknow

Community Testimonials

“Maths sir hardly comes to the

classroom and when he does he

mostly sleeps” –Student, Govt.

Secondary School, Lucknow

“Most of our teachers are on non-

teaching duties for years – Higher

Secondary didn’t have a

Chemistry and Maths teacher for

the entire session”

– Principal, Govt. School, Lko

Team Problem Solution –P1 Solution-P2 Implementation Cost Analysis Partnership1http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/02/sup

erstar-teachers/

As part of Phase 1, ILM Academy selected 42 motivated students from

Govt./Aided schools and trained them with star teachers for 6 months

ILM Academy took an initiative of providing hand picked superstar teachers to 42 Govt/aided school

students for 6 months to measure the impact on their performance

Target Beneficiary

• Poor students studying in secondary schools with inadequate facilities

• Approached 6-10 Govt./Aided schools catering to very poor students in Lucknow

Selection Process

• Selected 42 students based on

• 1. Performance in an aptitude test

• 2. Family‟s background like household income

• 3. Motivation and interest level

Service Offerings

• Coach students with qualified teachers in following areas at ILM‟s after school learning center for 22 hours a week

• 1. Subjects – PCM, English, Life skills

• 2. Counseling and confidence building

• 3. Books, pen, food, conveyance etc

Phase 1: Present ILM Academy Impact

Khushi Ram has a new confidence after he decided to leave his village to pursue education in Lko, while working part time as gardener to bear basic expenses

Manish Mandal isn‟t deterred by the fact that he has only a poor mother to support him. He studies hard, helps his mother and makes sure he scores better in exams too

Shoaib1 has been a revelation to us. The utterly spoilt brat of a village head has miraculously become the most sincere & hardworking student of the class

• The improved motivation and self-

confidence is unmistakably evident

• Improvement in exam performance by 38%

1 Shoaib is the only paying student of the class


We learnt that lack of quality teachers is the major obstacle to quality

education at the grassroots level – thus founded SMART ILM ACADEMY

Learning from Phase 1 – ILM ACADEMY

Teachers are mostly

unavailable1 or

incompetent

Quality teachers are

often unaffordable2

Using Technology – SMART ILM ACADEMY

Develop/Use high quality interactive

digital content & lectures in regional

language that is sensitive to special learning

requirements of underprivileged children

Train and employ low cost facilitators (e.g.

college students, graduates, intermediate

pass) to moderate and facilitate the classes

Use Peer-to-peer learning methodology

to improve learning, real time interactivity

and clear doubts

Assign remote Mentors from best institutes

and companies for guidance and counseling


1 Lack of accountability and cases where teachers bribe district officials to keep getting paid while not being physically present in schools2 Dysfunctional policies and fast growing commercial coaching industry. that has conferred greater bargaining power to the teachers

SMART ILM ACADEMY is a technology based intervention with digital

content moderated by trained facilitators to ensure „quality‟ in schools1

Appendix

Learning from phase 1 – ILM ACADEMY that gave rise to phase 2 –

SMART ILM ACADEMY

Learning from Phase 1 – ILM ACADEMY

1.Dependency on quality teachers is the major

impediment in the way of quality education

2. Fast growing private coaching industry has

conferred greater bargaining power to teachers –

making them unaffordable

3. Their strong unions ensure that government

succumbs to their illegitimate demands

4. In-grained corruption where teachers bribe district

officials to keep getting paid while not being physically

present at schools leads to teacher absenteeism

5. Inefficient exam system and blatant cheating makes

students believe that „quality education‟ is a

secondary requirement

6. Dysfunctional government policies do not create an

environment that promots quality education

Using Technology – SMART ILM LEARNING

Develop/Use high quality interactive digital

content & lectures in regional language (beginning

with Hindi) that is sensitive to special learning

requirements of underprivileged children

– Tie up with IDAA Learning Solution, Hyderabad to develop

and deliver digital content in Hindi for std 6 ,7 and std 10 by

Apr and Jul‟13 respectively

– Std 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 would be covered by AY 2014 - 15

– Std 6 – 12 would be covered by AY 2015 - 16

Train and employ low cost facilitators (e.g.

college students, graduates, intermediate pass) to

moderate and facilitate the classes using interactive

and activity based digital content

Under „Kalam program‟, identify superstar

students at secondary level who can be facilitators

for primary classes

– They are called Kalam Fellows

– They are incentivized for their contribution to peer-to-

peer learning


Associating with us offers you to work with a unique passionate and

professional team with a differentiated model shaping education

Statistical Evidence of the approach1

Research conducted by International Literacy

Institute, University of Pennsylvania in Andhra Pradesh in

2002 clearly showed the effectiveness of technology over

traditional approach in furthering quality education

However, no major structured approach to implement it in

India since then

Other Similar Initiatives

Pratham‟s recent initiative – Learn, Out of the Box in

collaboration with Vodafone Foundation

– Only English content at present

– Target 1000 schools by July‟13 across India

– No presence in UP as yet

Digital Study Hall Foundation

– Recorded lectures played on VCR

– Limited footprint

What differentiates our model

Local Language: Interactive content in Hindi. Life size

classes with projected videos compared to VCR or TV

Geography: Target footprint in UP schools. Hindi belt can

also include MP, Bihar & Rajasthan

Mentor Program: Remote mentors from corporate and

reputed colleges assigned to student groups for counselling

Peer to peer learning: Snowball effect of students teaching

Unique Offerings

Passionate team of young and experienced people who

believe in „getting things done‟

Better co-branding and goodwill opportunity owing to

the initiative‟s high visibility and the organization‟s novel

ideas & fresh perspectives

Meet CSR targets and accomplish satisfaction of helping a

very important cause

Challenges: We are also prepared with potential solutions to the

challenges that we might face as identified during our research

Challenges Potential Solutions

• Lack of Regular power supply

– One week day time and One week night

time power supply model in villages in UP

Using battery operated projectors

Using Inverters charged in the night and used in the day

during the week of night time power supply

Using power generators and bearing the diesel cost

[Many schools have unused generators available]

Content effectiveness & emulating human

interaction for doubt clearance

Extensive testing of the digital content for being self

explanatory and interactive

Using peer learning methodologies / occasional doubt

clearing sessions / exhaustive book of FAQs on each subject

Medium of instruction

– Most of the students don‟t understand

English in UP, MP, Bihar etc

Content must be in their local language they understand.

IDAA has started translating the content in Hindi

Extra cost to schools

– Electricity, Security of equipment

Bharat Abhyudaya to bear the extra cost

Long approval process in Govt. schools Begin the process well in advance and use proper network

Impact Measurement IDAA is also designing impact measurement tools for us


1) The students have a keen desire to pursue professional

courses; hence the curriculum should be developed that

takes care of both board exams and entrances exams.

2) A robust doubt solving facility needs to be developed.

The students usually come up with doubts in a particular

solution, and without doubt solving mechanism, the

students‟ interest and enthusiasm in studies might get

affected.

3) As discussed above, the ICT model can be effective medium

for peer learning, where the absence of teacher implicitly

asks a student to help his/her peers.

4) A proper career guidance session should be conducted

where they are told about what colleges they can get

admission into through various exams. It is important to

have a certain target in mind that motivates them to study

harder.

5) The model will ask for greater efforts from students and

this in turn might benefit the students in long run.

6) The students like to have a higher level of interactivity. It

would be better if the facilitator is trained in the

curriculum to handle the doubts to some extent.

ILM- STUDENTS

Imparting quality education through

teachers/ facilitators and mentors

ILM ensures quality education reaching these children by

equipping the teachers through

training

Mentorship program ensures that children

receive enough exposure to career

guidance

ILM-SCHOOL MNGMNT.

School may plan to increase the fees due to increase in

electricity usage & maintenance cost

Cost may be comparably much lesser than the

revenue the schools may get as more students would

be willing to join our program.

The academy may provide funds to cover these extra

costs of electricity and maintenance

Academy may enter into a contract with the school seeking assurance that there would not be any

changes in the fee structure

ILM-FACILITATORS

The main interaction which would take place between

the academy and the teachers is when they are undergoing the training.

They must be duly assessed and accordingly decided on what type of

training needs to be given

When two governing bodies are present the employees involved often get confused whom to report. This may lead to a confusing among the teachers or facilitators.

As the hiring is done by the school management the

cost incurred by the academy would be

minimalized.

ILM-TEACHERS

Demand higher salary for theextra effort put for training

High attrition after training

Convincing how technology reduces work load. Also ILM

may bare the extra salary that the teachers demand (cost< hiring facilitators)

Only cost ILM is involved in is training. Another set of low

skilled teachers could be easily replaced with appropriate training.

Four pillars of SMART ILM ACADEMY

Khushi Ram

• Works 4 hours every morning as Gardener to pay for his food, lodging and school. Left village and came to LKO to study

• Very hard working, sincere and good in studies

• We met his guardian and now pay for his food, books and studies besides special training

Manish Mandal

• Father expired a couple of years ago

• Income from rent; Mother works as domestic help

• Young, excited and brilliant. His child like enthusiasm to learn whatever he can makes you want to teach him. Once a hesitant teacher agreed to work out his busy schedule to find time for our classes only because of him. We call him ‘Laloo’

Afsal Ansari

• Brightest of all; Potential IIT candidate

• Getting special coaching for IIT from our instructors – has already become their favorite

• Big family with only one wage earner – financially challenged. He is not just a good student but a good teacher as well. It’s a treat to watch him teach chemistry to fellow classmates. Reinforces our belief in peer-to-peer learning
