Every child learns at their own pace.

GPF has been working on implementing this learning principle over the years. It supports teachers in shifting their assessment practices to understand every child’s need and in designing learning processes to reach each of them. This is the core of Competency-based Education (CBE).

GPF has innovated processes to implement CBE on scale in rural government schools. For this work, GPF selected four districts (Nandurbar, Parbhani, Solapur and Satara) in Maharashtra to demonstrate the systemic change approach. Over the past years, the success in the four districts has given GPF the impetus to scale the innovation across the country through collaborations with partners.

Working closely with teachers, parents, School Management Committees (SMCs) and Education Dept officials, GPF has demonstrated that system-led change in education works and transformation is possible.
