प्रत्येक मुलाला विविध क्षमता शिकता येणे आणि त्या आपापल्या गतीने शिकता येणे महत्त्वाचे आहे.
शिक्षणाचे हे तत्व प्रत्यक्षात आणण्यासाठी ग्यानप्रकाश फाउंडेशन गेली अनेक वर्षे काम करत आहे. मूल्यमापन पद्धतींचा वापर करून मुलांच्या नेमक्या गरजा समजून घ्याव्यात आणि त्यानुसार शैक्षणिक प्रक्रियांचे नियोजन करावे, यावर संस्थेचा भर आहे. हाच क्षमताधिष्ठित शिक्षणाचा (Competency based Education) गाभा आहे.
ग्रामीण जिल्हा परिषद शाळांमधे शिक्षकांनी क्षमताधिष्ठित वर्गप्रक्रिया आणि मूल्यमापनाचा अवलंब करावा या दृष्टीने शैक्षणिक प्रक्रिया बळकट करण्यावर ग्यानप्रकाश फाउंडेशनचा भर आहे. ही संस्था महाराष्ट्र राज्य शासनाच्या सहयोगाने चार जिल्ह्यांत (नंदुरबार, परभणी, सोलापूर आणि सातारा) कार्यरत आहे. या जिल्ह्यांमध्ये ‘व्यवस्थात्मक बदलांतून शैक्षणिक परिवर्तन’ घडून येताना दिसत आहे. तसंच भागीदारांच्या सहयोगी प्रयत्नांतून शाश्वत शैक्षणिक परिवर्तन शक्य आहे, हे या चार जिल्ह्यांमधे, शैक्षणिक व्यवस्था, शिक्षक, शाळा, शाळा व्यवस्थापन समित्या (SMCs), ग्राम पंचायत आणि पालक या सर्वांसोबत जवळून काम करत ग्यानप्रकाश फाउंडेशन ने दाखवून दिले आहे.
या यशोगाथांमुळे सहयोगी संस्थांच्या माध्यमातून देशभरात या प्रक्रियांचा प्रसार करण्याची प्रेरणा ग्यानप्रकाश फाउंडेशन संस्थेला मिळाली आहे.
