Collaboration empowers India's future through foundational skills in primary students

Studies reveal a concerning trend: India's primary education system is in a critical state. Students are lacking foundational skills in literacy and numeracy, and this gap is widening each year. These foundational skills are essential for success in higher education and life in general. Without them, students fall behind and struggle to catch up, sometimes even dropping out of school. This is a significant challenge for India, a country with a large and young population. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated this issue by disrupting classroom learning and hindering students' academic, physical, and social-emotional development.
