Neev Shikshan Sanstha was founded with a deep commitment to creating meaningful and child-centred educational practices. We believe that every child deserves access to quality learning opportunities that help them grow with confidence and curiosity. Our work focuses on designing practical and impactful educational programmes that strengthen foundational literacy and numeracy in classrooms.
We work closely with teachers to create joyful, and engaging learning environments for young children. By partnering with educators, and we ensure that our efforts respond to real needs on the ground. Our approach values holistic development, nurturing not only academic skills but also social and emotional growth. Through initiatives, we aim to bridge educational gaps and empower every child to build a brighter and more hopeful future.
Two 4-year-old children are about to start their pre-school. Maya, a curious 4-year-old in Alkapuri (Vadodara), will, fortunately, be able to attend a good school where competent teachers are motivated and adequate learning resources are available. Mayank, a boy of the same age who lives with his grandmother in a remote part of the Vadodara district in Gujarat, India, will unfortunately not get the chance to go to a school that can promise an adequate standard of education.
Two 4-year-old children are about to start their pre-school. Maya, a curious 4-year-old in Alkapuri (Vadodara), will, fortunately, be able to attend a good school where competent teachers are motivated and adequate learning resources are available. Mayank, a boy of the same age who lives with his grandmother in a remote part of the Vadodara district in Gujarat, India, will unfortunately not get the chance to go to a school that can promise an adequate standard of education.
Over the course of primary school, Maya will benefit from effective teaching practices. Her teachers will give examples to illustrate concepts, provide guided practice, and give her friendly and personalised feedback. She will have a wide array of books to choose from, feeding her creative mind and providing contextual knowledge to everything she learns. By the end of second grade, she will be reading and comprehending full sentences quickly and progressing to longer texts.
In contrast, Mayank will struggle to read single words, let alone sentences. His 1st grade teacher is not fluent in English, the medium of instruction. He cannot get extra help because there are more than 60 pupils in his class, and there are no storybooks at school. Further, Mayank gets home from school tired because he walks for two hours and fails to retain his learning and complete homework independently. His grandmother can’t read or write, and they speak the local dialect (colloquial Gujarati) at home. Little Mayank finds it hard to learn, and lessons are sometimes confusing and out of his reach. While his teachers will do their best to help him, Mayank will soon start to lose motivation and dislike going to school. By the end of primary school, Maya will begin to read novels while Mayank will struggle to read a simple short story.
We want to change the narrative of Mayank’s journey. We want Mayank to be able to read and learn at the same level as his counterparts from more well-resourced backgrounds. Through our intervention, we want to ensure that Mayank receives a good education in his foundational years too, which will prevent the growing learning gaps that he is ever so likely to face as he grows up and navigates elementary school.”
