India has approximately 351 million youth under age 14 enrolled in school (World Bank, ASER), but international testing shows that India is ranked second-to-last in child enrollment/providing access to primary education among 73 participating countries. Lack of basic math and science skills can prevent many of India’s youth from realizing their full potential, resulting in lost opportunities and lower wages as adults.
Over three years, Avanti Fellows will expand to 240 schools with 36,000 students enrolled in grades 9 and 10. If results are sustained, there will be a strong case for increased interest and scaling support from several Indian state governments.
