School education lays the foundation stone in building the personality of a person; in order to have a dignified life education is must. Also, the importance of school education lies in the fact that the children of today will become adult citizens of tomorrow. The growth and future of our country highly depends upon the quality of the present school education system. Unless opportunities of good education trail down to the grass-root level, the health of the nation and the future of children will surely suffer. It is important to understand that the facilities for education should be equal for all. Access to quality elementary education is the right of each and every child and Save the Children India aims to realise this while continue working on this issue.

We believe that all children irrespective to their caste, language, gender, color, religion, physical & learning abilities are able to learn and grow with their full potential if provided with appropriate and vibrant learning and living environment. We make efforts for creating such an environment in state run education institutions (schools and AWCs) so that each and every child feels safe, secure and protected and realise his/her right to quality education. The aim of our intervention under education thematic area is to develop effective and encouraging learning environment for underprivileged children in schools and AWCs and demonstrate effective models of excellence. It includes improving capacity of teachers and AWCs workers and strengthening community based institutions so that they participate actively in management and functioning of education institutions, facilitating peer support in retention and re-enrolment of out of school children. We also make available some critical resources in schools and AWCs in a manner that it contributes meaningfully towards learning of children and in pedagogical practices adopted in classrooms.
