Pratham recognizes that the primary education is fundamentally the responsibility of the government/s and that the greatest improvement is likely to come when the government/s efficiency and effectiveness improves. Pratham therefore strives to make the government system more effective by working at multiple levels with it. The underlying philosophy is to supplement the government and not supplant it.
In areas in which Pratham operates, we want to see that every child is in school and learning and where this is impractical; children should be in some form of educational net and learning. In areas, where Pratham does not have a direct presence nor is it practical for us to have a direct presence, we try to have a catalytic impact on the government and non-governmental organizations through demonstrative advocacy. |
