Our Work - Reach To Teach

Gujarat

We started operations in Gujarat in 2007. Over the years, the organisation has gone through several iterations and evolved from direct field level engagement with limited Government schools to working with the Government of Gujarat, Department of Education and covering all Government Schools in the State. We have been actively involved in various Government programmes and support their initiatives through:

Governance

Strengthening the existing Accreditation Framework (Gunotsav 2.0)

Capacity Development

Carrying out curriculum review, content and material development (Grade 3-8)

Outreach

Supporting the Government’s annual enrolment drive (Praveshotsav).
Planning and roll-out of the National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy (NIPUN) Bharat Mission.
Supporting The World Bank/AIIB and the Government of Gujarat co-funded Mission Schools of Excellence (SoE) project to transform 20,000 schools as the Academic and Technical Support Unit.

Strategic Partners

The Larry Ellison Foundation

Reach to Teach (RTT) has been supported in its work by The Larry Ellison Foundation since 2007. Larry Ellison Foundation is the personal philanthropic initiative of Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle Corporation. In 2007, Larry Ellison Foundation and RTT entered into a formal agreement where Larry Ellison Foundation funds all RTT’s work. This sustained support has enabled RTT to scale up its work and it has moved from being a field level entity to one actively working alongside governments to bring in qualitative interventions at scale. Larry Ellison Foundation continues to support RTT in its aspiration to enhance qualitative teaching and learning outcomes in government schools.
