COVID-19 Intervention
The prolonged school closures during the pandemic impacted student learning. Due to inequal access to digital classrooms, several children were left out of the learning process. Teachers had to quickly adapt to multi-modal ways of engaging. In the first wave of COVID-19, Reach to Teach had a two-pronged approach. At one level, we supported the Gujarat Education Department in disseminating their Ghare Sikhiye (home learning) module. At another level, we focused on two districts and created awareness packs, guidelines for parents and teachers, and incorporated other local innovative practices to increase the outreach of these packs. The state adapted a lot of the practices we created in these two districts for state-wide implementation. During the second wave of the pandemic, we worked with the Education Department to create content for their home learning packs.
Several interventions like television and radio advertisements, sending out digital posters and creating activities for parents to engage with children created an opportunity for them to bond and learn about things beyond the school curriculum.

We believe
-
Every child has the right to quality education
-
Children learn best when they are safe, happy and engaged
-
Engaging with stakeholders, such as governments, school leaders, teachers and communities plays a pivotal role in children’s education
Mission
We strive to improve education outcomes by making learning joyful, working with governments, partners, parents and communities, with foundational learning skills at the core.
Vision
Every child will have access to quality education to enable them to become confident social citizens with improved life chances.
At Reach to Teach we believe in providing scalable solutions to advance the quality of teaching and learning outcomes. We work with our partners at a systemic level to drive policy impact at a scalable level.
Reach to Teach plans to use a robust public-private partnership (PPP) model, leveraging its existing funding and also bringing in increased private investments, to increase the outreach and quality of learning interventions. This can be achieved by working through a shared vision, engaging with core businesses to create sustainable fund flows, fostering collaboration, and helping reduce duplication of efforts and resources available with the partners. Under this model, we plan to use innovation and scale as demonstrated by the private sector and apply this to government programmes for improved outreach and impact. We will explore PPP models as well as innovative finance approaches in the form of ‘pay for results’ models and Development/Social Impact Bonds (DIBs/SIBs) for sustained fund flows.
To deliver high quality programmes, partnerships are key.

We take a systems approach to strengthen education service delivery. Our technical support and programmes are consultative, evidence-based and data-driven. Through continuous monitoring and evaluation, we ensure that learning from our programmes is at the centre of programme design.
