Community vision for education is key.

Every human being is born with the potential to learn. For every child to remain a lifelong learner requires a fundamental shift in the approach to teaching-learning that treats every class as a homogenous group. Through a decade spent understanding how children learn and by collaborating with various organizations, Gyan Prakash Foundation has a proven approach that respects the individuality of every child and enables them to learn and evolve at their own pace. The design is innovative and inclusive of parents, the school, the community and the education establishment.

GPF enables teachers in rural government schools to facilitate classroom experiences wherein every student can grow to their full potential, and contribute with all their intelligence and skills.
