Pratham 2.0: Sustaining Innovation

Pratham is a Mumbai-based nonprofit, which focuses on high-quality, low-cost, and replicable interventions to address gaps in India’s education system. From inception, it has pioneered innovation, from early childhood learning centers to adaptive literacy programs, to national surveys on basic education performance that informed national education policy.  As Pratham reflects on its track record of influence on the Indian education system, the leadership team wonders whether Pratham could extend its programs within India to fill some of the gaps that existed between early childhood education, formal schooling, and vocational training. And whether the nonprofit could explore new innovations, which could help it achieve its mission of ‘Every Child in School & Learning Well.’ After more than 25 years of meaningful impact, how would they determine the future of Pratham? And who would lead that future?
