About the Organization

“Involve learning solutions foundation has been started by an IIT Madras graduate, an organization whose vision is to develop agency in school students.

Students today are passive recipients of education with no ownership of their learning. This creates unmotivated learners with inadequate academic skills & future readiness. It transforms into a lack of agency, an inability to make decisions or exercise their choices. Hence, it is essential to create age-appropriate experiences for students to take ownership of learning & transform into leaders.

Involve has been working with Peer learning-based strategies to improve foundational numeracy & student ownership in schools. The approach emanates from their belief in “”Kids first”” and their key design principles: Co-created with students, Led by the students & participation by choice. Through their unique program, Involve mentors senior school students of age 12-16 to teach and mentor their juniors by partnering with government schools. Over the last 3 years, Involve has worked with 10,000+ students, improving their academics by 39% and having more than 80% of their senior students demonstrate improved confidence, strong initiatives, and solving problems in their classrooms. In the long term, they create a strong culture of students learning from each other who are motivated to take ownership as well.”
