We are proud to announce that Pratham CEO Dr. Rukmini Banerji has been awarded the 2021 Yidan Prize for Education Development - the world’s highest education accolade - for her work in improving learning outcomes.
The Yidan Prize is an inclusive education award that recognizes individuals or teams who have contributed significantly to the theory and practice of education. Rukmini will join nine laureates who have been awarded the Yidan Prize since its inception in 2016.
With the support of the Yidan Prize, Rukmini plans to strengthen and expand Pratham’s work with young children so that strong foundations can be built early in a child’s life. This will contribute significantly towards our goal of seeing “every child in school and learning well.”

Pratham is an innovative learning organization created to improve the quality of education in India. Established in 1995 to provide education to children in the slums of Mumbai, Pratham has grown in both scope and scale, with programs today reaching children and youth across the country.

As one of the largest non-governmental organizations in the country, Pratham focuses on high-quality, low-cost and replicable interventions to address gaps in the education system. Working directly with children and youth as well as through large-scale collaborations with government systems, Pratham programs reach millions of lives every year. Pratham's Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach has demonstrated proven impact on children's learning outcomes and is now being adapted to contexts outside India.

‘स्कूल के तीसरे सत्र पर संकट की आहट; सीखने-सिखाने की प्रक्रिया बच्चे के हिसाब से तय हो’

अगर स्कूली शिक्षा को दुनिया के साथ कदम-से-कदम मिलाकर चलना है, तो शिक्षा व्यवस्था और व्यवहार को गहराई से समझकर मूल रूप से बदलना होगा।

It is essential to reflect and make sense of the last two years. Heads and hearts have to be used for understanding what has just happened and for linking it to what can be done for the future.

‘परीक्षा के सिस्टम में सिरे से बदलाव बेहद ज़रूरी’

स्कूल के बाहर भी बच्चे बहुत सारी बातें सीखते हैं, लेकिन इसकी कोई ट्रैकिंग नहीं होती है। इसलिए अब जब स्कूल खुल रहे हैं तो हमें यह जानने की बहुत ज्यादा जरूरत है कि इस दौरान उन्होंने क्या सीखा है।
