Our work and its impact

At Adhyayan Quality Education Foundation, our vision in the last six years has been to enable 'a good school for every child’, intending to reach 100000 government schools in the country by 2030.
The premise of our work rests on developing a shared understanding of good schools and seeking to enable government school and system leaders to answer the questions, ‘How do you know your schools are good? What will you do to make them good?’ and work collectively towards systemic school improvement.
Our work explores not just formal spaces of learning but also informal spaces of learning, like public libraries, that form an ecosystem of support for children.

At Adhyayan, working in collaboration with school leaders and education system leaders on stakeholder-inclusive self-review ensures regular effort and practice toward consistent school improvement. This review is done against the national framework that provides evidence of "where your school is" and also the route for your "next best step" as a school, a leader, and a teacher to make your school the best it can be for your students.

Keeping the child at the centre, we support leaders to improve and sustain school quality through systemic, data-driven governance. Our approach focuses on four cornerstones of effective leadership and governance:

• -Working with system leaders to build a common vocabulary and vision of what 'good' schools look like.
• -Involving all stakeholders from the student level to the State level to co-create this vision and plan of improvement.
• -Developing and embedding strong tech-based systems to ensure continuous evidence collection, analysis, and evidence-based decision-making at all levels.
• -Creating spaces that let leaders and teachers learn from each other, and problem-solve together in the form of 'professional learning communities.
