Associate - Communications

ShikshaLokam - Who are we?

ShikshaLokam is an NGO founded under the aegis of Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives. As an education leadership catalyst, the organisation co-creates continuous learning and improvement programs and solutions for education leaders, along with government functionaries and civil society organisations. 

 

ShikshaLokam orchestrates the coming together of diverse actors - government, civil society, market players, academia - towards public school improvement programs led by education leaders themselves. This accelerates collective action for education system transformation at scale, with speed and sustainably. 

 

ShikshaLokam programs and solutions restore the agency of education leaders (teachers, school leaders, community members, administrators, education officers, etc. ensuring an enriching learning environment for children) in the K-12 public education ecosystem. By doing so, leaders’ ability to continuously improve is enhanced, they are able to solve the school improvement challenges on their own, and all our children get access to quality education as a fundamental right.
