Teach them how to save the world
Akshar is on a mission to reform 100 government schools in 5 years
A paradigm shift in education
Akshar's revolutionary model radically improves the performance of government schools.
Akshar gives underprivileged students all the skills they need to build productive lives for themselves.
Here's how...
Teach them how to teach
Every student is a teacher
Akshar's model trains and employs older students as teachers for younger students.
Teens gain a strong work ethic and learn communication, finance, leadership and compassion, while earning enough money to stay in school.
Teach them how to learn
Students master technology
Akshar's model enables customized learning through technology: e-books, exercises, videos, lectures, documentaries and learning games.
With daily coaching from older teens, young students gain access to the limitless learning resources available through tech. A teenager with a tablet is a powerful teacher.
Teach them how to earn
Students learn practical skills
Inspired by Gandhi's Nai Talim education philosophy, Akshar's secondary curriculum balances vocational training with conventional academics.
Akshar strives to develop teens' skills until they are in college, employed in a trade, or apprenticed: on the path to a fulfilling career.
Teach them responsibility
Students learn conservation
Akshar's model teaches students to take responsibility for their surroundings and to strive to improve them.
Students pay their "school fees" in the form of clean plastic waste from their homes and participate in the school Recycling Center while learning environmental science.
Teach them how to care
Students learn to heal
In Akshar's secondary curriculum, students learn to address the local needs of their community, gaining knowledge and skills during the process of development.
Students participate in the school animal shelter and older students learn to tend to the injuries of younger ones, as they train in biology, first aid, and disaster response.
