Education Above All Says Project-Based Learning Program Reached 3.8 Million Students in India

Education Above All Foundation says it has concluded a large-scale project-based learning initiative in India that reached millions of students across four states, using an offline digital resource bank designed for classrooms with limited connectivity.

The Details

According to Gulf Times, the Qatar-based foundation completed the initiative in partnership with Qatar Fund for Development and implementing partner Mantra4Change. The program deployed the foundation’s Internet-Free Education Resource Bank to support hands-on learning in government schools across Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and Nagaland.

Context

Education Above All Foundation describes itself on its official website as a global education and development nonprofit organisation. The Internet Free Education program is listed among its active initiatives. Mantra4Change, the implementing partner named in the report, says on its website that it works directly with government schools through partnerships with state and district education departments and operates in states including Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha—three of the four states the Gulf Times article identified as program locations.

What's Next

The Gulf Times report characterised the initiative as a completed program. No additional phases, expansion plans, or follow-on funding commitments were disclosed in the material reviewed. The reported reach and outcome figures were attributed to Education Above All Foundation and published by Gulf Times; independent second-source confirmation of the 3.8 million learner, 13,393 teacher, and 18,605 school totals was not located during the research window.
