the education crisis

The education crisis in India runs wide, and deep. 97 million children living in India – one in five – are estimated to be multidimensionally poor. 75% of students are falling behind by grade 3, and 56% of grade 5 students cannot read a grade two text. A student in India who has lost a year of learning may only be able to bridge their learning in 9 years.

Our ability to equip and empower these current and future citizens for a dynamic 21st century will shape the security, harmony, and prosperity of the largest democracy on our planet. We need to act now.
