The document proposes a solution called "Practical Schooling Program" to address issues with primary education in India like low standards, disparity in enrollment/attendance, outdated teaching methods, and lack of extracurricular activities. The program would establish 6 innovative practical schools to identify students' talents and develop skills through hands-on learning, workshops, activities, and field trips. It would generate employment for unemployed graduates by hiring them as mentors, trainers, and administrators. The program aims to benefit over 1 million schools and 200 million students nationwide by enhancing education quality, creating jobs, and developing resources. It outlines the implementation process, organizational structure, funding models, and challenges of adapting this new approach.

3. Reasons behind the Problem.
• Old structure of
pedagogy.
• No Innovation in the
delivery of content
• Lack of Co-Curricular and
Extra-Curricular
Platforms.
• Low level of interaction
between teachers and
students.
• According to a recent
survey, the percentage of
completion of
Infrastructural facilities is
90%. The total percentage
of teachers are just 60%.
• 52% teachers are below
graduation.
• Only 33% of teachers in
public sector in India are
graduates.
• Only 48% of the teachers in
Government Sectors are
trained.
• 76% of the total private
schools in India have no
trained activity teacher.
• Existing generation gap
between parents and
students.
• Retaliation to adapt the
new technique.
• Excessive faith on the
traditional pedagogy.
• Many illiterate poor
parents in rural India send
their children to earn than
to study .
General facts.
• Total schools in India - 14,12,178
• Total students in primary section - 199.06 million
• Total teachers - 6.69 million.
• Number of repeaters - 5.5 million *Source: DISE survey

4. Proposed Solution
Our solution to the problem is to implement the “PRACTICAL SCHOOLING PROGRAM” in our current
primary education system. We tend to build 6 innovatively designed practical schools for kids to identify
their latent talent and develop their skills by engaging them into live education.
• This program will develop awareness, knowledge, attitude, skill and participation level of kids.
• Creative Workshops, Meets, Activities, Training Camps, Events, Field Trips and development of
Scientific temperament will be promoted both at government and private school levels.
The program is divided into two parts.
• This will encompass grade 1st to 4th. Students will get their training in all the
six schools.
• They will sit for an aptitude test at the end of their session.
Beginner's Level
• Schools will be allotted according to results of the aptitude test.
• Students from class 5th onwards will get the training in their specific school.Advanced Level

5. THE PROGRAM INTENDS TO OUTREACH AND BENEFIT THE MAXIMUM.
Enhancement of Quality
Education at primary level.
• Practical knowledge base of
the students.
• Introduction and Experience
to alternative activities of
schooling.
• Rise in motivation and
confidence level.
• Access to Global Level
Exchange programs and
activities at low price with
effect of economy of scale.
Creation of Resources.
• Mobilizing and Training a
vast pool of untrained and
unemployed graduates.
• Creation of quality and easy
assessable content for best
outcomes.
• Creating opportunities for
various other action teams
by implementing Franchisee
model and sharing the rich
resource.
On national level the program has the audacity to cover more than a million school
which encompasses approx. 200 millions of students who will get benefits from our
program. Enhancement of Quality education, Creation of Resources and Employment
Generation are the major concern of the program.

6. Our program will just not enhance the quality of education at primary level
but will also generate employment for the unemployed graduates.
• Generating the employment opportunity for youth.

7. Key Steps Involved for the Implementation
Research*
Number of Government and private schools in a zone. Number of Schools with proper infrastructure. Rate of
enrollment and total number students in primary section. Number of train and untrained teachers. Total
requirement of interns and trainers.

8. Organizational set-up for the Initiative.
Quality Auditing:
• The main function of quality auditing team is check the standard of
quality of the whole program.
• The Intern evaluation will take place at every two months. Students from
grade 5th onwards will evaluate their own intern.
• Interns need to update an e-portal every week to record the progress of
the program.
• Random inspection will be carried out in various schools across the state.

* Both the models will run on different source of funding. The private sector is self sustaining. It will work
on b2b model. The schools enrolled in this program will pay a nominal amount of Rs.150 /head only for
six months. Where as the schools in the public sector will run on the funds given by the governments,
corporates and many big N.G.Os. Money collected from the private sector will also be used to expand this
program at rural level for free.

activities will be considered as non core and a franchisee will be appointed for to carry out
the same with the support of the organization.

11. Major Challenges
Process :
Though the program has been
prototyped in various schools of
India the program posses a
challenge with respect to its
process. The laid and planned
process does not guarantees the
success and the original success
rate may differ.
Adaptability:
•The concept of the program is
considerably new and may take
time by the benefiters to adapt
it which posses a challenge and
demands patience.
Building Resource:
•The complete program is
based on the exhaustive pool
of internee and trainees.
Planning the Right Motivational
Factor for this resource is a
Major Challenge.
Start Up:
For any new idea
the start up point
is itself a
challenge.
