Overview

Azim Premji Foundation's District Institutes work in collaboration with state governments to engage with teachers, school leaders, teacher educators, and other education officials and increase their professional capabilities. These District Institutes work to improve the quality of practices within schools, facilitate creative approaches to teaching and learning through workshops, teacher forums, seminars, and fairs, build professional networks of teachers, and reform school curriculum, teacher-education curriculum and issues relating to education policy.

The Foundation's demonstration schools provides quality free education to the local community, focusing on children from disadvantaged backgrounds in primary classes. These demonstration schools are affiliated with the State Boards of Education, have the state language as the medium of instruction, focus on health and nutrition as a critical input, and are free of cost.

Its Teacher Learning Centre (TLC) aims to improve the quality of education and provide a better learning experience for children in government schools through improving the capacities of teachers by improving their knowledge on education and the role of education in society, increasing content knowledge of different subjects, and encouraging new teaching methods that are consistent with the child’s developmental stage. TLCs also provide resources such as books, teaching and learning materials, laboratory equipment, computers, and internet connection, which enable academic engagements with teachers. Additionally, a permanent team at the TLC works to facilitate quality academic engagements.

Major tasks and accomplishments (as reported by the NGO):
The organising principles of the Foundation was that if education has to fulfil its transformative power to society then it has to be a constant and continues endeavour. Secondly while there is a universality to the knowledge and principles of school education it must be brought to life in a deeply contextual manner. Thirdly in order to attain systemic improvement it is necessary to work on all aspects and levels of education with all stakeholders i.e. school community and education system.
