TAMIL NADU
We’ve been working in Tamil Nadu since 2018, in partnership with the state government and the Samagra Shiksha (the centrally sponsored integrated scheme for school education). During COVID-19, we provided support to teachers and district officials across 13 districts with a range of online activities.
In August 2022, we were pleased to sign a new memorandum of understanding for our work in the state until 2026. The state has recently established a new Project Management Unit (PMU) to deliver its mission and vision for Teacher Professional Development across the state. In this MOU, we commit to support
this PMU as a knowledge, implementation and management partner.
Working across grades 1-8 (primary and upper primary) in every school in the state, we work to support teacher professional development through the identification and promotion of best practices. We support continuous quality improvement through the institutionalisation of periodic district level teacher development reviews. And we provide training and mentoring for education officials at all levels.
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS
- We are now supporting more than 37,000 schools across the whole state.
