At A Glance

Our education initiative promotes school choice and quality education for all. We aim to reform education policy to make it more responsive to the needs of each student, and give parents the choice to decide what is best for their child – be it school (public, high-fee private or Budget Private School (BPS)) or non-school services.

We engage with policy and opinion leaders in order to reform the education landscape in India through research, pilot projects, and outreach.
