About the Organization

“Leadership For Skilled Education Foundation (branded as Leadership For Equity, LFE), is a non-profit (NGO).

LFE believes that Public Education Systems are the gatekeepers of social equity, especially when India’s 120 million poorest of the poor children go to government-run schools. A multi-layered, complex, and systemic problem of educational inequity, will require a solution rooted in the systems change approach. They believe that a collective effort by forging partnerships with governments, like-minded philanthropists, corporates, donors, nonprofits and grassroots organisations will help bring scalable and sustainable social change.

In its two-fold approach to change, LFE builds the capacity of government system leaders and influences system processes. In partnership with the local and state education bodies, LFE co-creates programs that shift teaching-learning practices and improve student learning and well-being. This work coupled with research and advisory support to influence policies, LFE aspires to be a catalyst in forming effective government education systems.

Since 2017, LFE has built the capacity and impacted 2,100+ system leaders, and through the programs has influenced 40,200+ teachers and reached out to 8.2 million students. LFE has co-created and implemented 8 different programs and have multi-year MoUs with 9 govt. bodies including Zilla Parishads (self-governing district & city bodies), DIETs, SCERTs, Department of School Education across 4 states in India.”
