Communications - Associate Video Editor, Pratham

About Pratham
Pratham is an innovative learning organisation created to improve the quality of education in India. Established in 1995 to provide education to children in Mumbai, Pratham has grown in both scope and scale, with programs today reaching children and youth across the country. As one of the largest non-governmental organisations in the country, Pratham focuses on high-quality, low-cost and replicable interventions to address gaps in the education system.

Working directly with children and youth as well as through large-scale collaborations with government systems, Pratham programs reach millions of lives every year. Pratham's Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach has demonstrated proven impact on children's learning outcomes and is now being adapted to contexts outside India.

Project Summary
Pratham is implementing a project to strengthen the education system by embedding competency-based education, value education through sports and environmental awareness into teaching and learning practices. A central focus of the project will be to bring systemic alignment in the implementation of competency-based education, which involves reviewing state and national policies, adapting curricula, reforming assessment practices, and building teacher capacities so that learning becomes outcomes-focused and future-ready.

Innovative approaches, including the Sport Values in Every Classroom Toolkit (SViECT), will be used to bring these values into classrooms in practical and engaging ways. At the same time, the project will study greening education and climate change integration in the education system by reviewing the activities of the Eco-clubs, developing climate-responsive learning resources.
