GyanSetu: Centers of Community Transformation
- P Project/Program
? Activity Status: Unknown
Key Information
GyanSetu (Bridge of Learning) is a network of micro-education social ventures run by Study Hall Educational Foundation. They are small, intimate learning support centers in rural and urban pockets where poverty, gender and caste intersect to stop children from going to school. Children who are out of school and are at high-risk of harm go through an accelerated learning program at the GyanSetu center. Upon completing the program, they are enrolled in formal schools, and are offered continuous supplementary education and support at their local GyanSetu center to ensure that they stay in school.
