CLT India Children's LoveCastles Trust
We believe that every child – no matter their circumstances – deserves access to a rich educational environment so they can build a wondrous life on their dreams and aspirations. This is the driving force behind our endeavor. We design interactive pedagogy for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), and deliver it on a purpose-built low cost digital platform.
India’s government schools, offering education to the children from the underserved communities, are coping with major challenges. They range from 10 students per school to over-crowded classrooms, single-teacher per school managing multiple grades and ages, besides the lack of basic infrastructure. On the government’s part, under the umbrella of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan program, they have succeeded in ‘every child in school’ initiative, and providing free mid-day meals to all children in the country, a major feat in itself.
One problem, however, has persisted. The needle has not moved with the learning outcomes of children. This is also directly linked to another problem that has persisted for decades – teacher shortage in millions.
Vision
Access to quality education for all
