Programs

1. Education- In 2024, the Education vertical deepened its support to existing partners while launching new pilots on foundational learning across three regions - Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Education programs primarily focused on adapting Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL), an evidence-based approach that helps children build foundational literacy and numeracy skills quickly by grouping them according to learning levels rather than age or grade. TaRL programs supported by Pratham International and its partners have been adapted in over 20 countries and 30 languages. In MENA, Morocco's Ministry of National Education, Pre-school and Sports continued its efforts to scale TaRL to 75% of schools by 2027, with the aim of reaching three million learners. In parallel, Morocco's Ministry of Interior piloted an NGO-led after-school model to engage civil society in rural areas to advance foundational learning, reaching 16,657 learners at endline. In Egypt, early efforts centered on program design and training of two implementing organizations. In Latin America, collaborations in Brazil, Colombia, and El Salvador reached over 14,000 children…

2. Digital- The Digital vertical led the development and deployment of a suite of technology-enabled solutions to strengthen learning and youth employability across diverse contexts. In the area of learning assessments, we built PadhAI - a customized AI-driven literacy assessment tool using one of the world's largest localized datasets (2,000 hours), capable of identifying regional languages, dialects, and accents. The tool was piloted with over 4,000 children and achieved ~90% accuracy, demonstrating strong diagnostic validity in the field. Complementing this, we also designed the Anytime Testing Machine - an AI-enabled tool that automates contextually aligned question generation, digitises and grades written and oral responses, and issues learner-sensitive, multilingual feedback to reduce teacher administrative burden and enable frequent, timely assessments. To support educators in managing multi-level, multilingual, and diverse classrooms, we began synthesizing facilitators' expertise to develop an AI assistant that enablesaccurate assessment of learning gaps, optimizes student grouping, and informs lesson planning through predictive analytics. Recognizing the critical need for…

3. Skills Training- The organisation expanded its youth-to-work initiative in Kenya, deepening its footprint across counties and accelerating pathways to employment through strategic partnerships, instructor training, and digital innovation. Building on foundational efforts in Kisumu, the program scaled to 12 counties - including Nairobi, Kericho, Busia, Bungoma, and Kilifi, engaging county governments, vocational training centers (VTCs), and industry leaders to strengthen the ecosystem for youth employability. To bridge the gap between training and employment, the NexTayari digital platform was launched, connecting youth, VTCs, and over 400 employers across key sectors. Over the year, 1,431 youth (50% women) from 35 VTCs and 15 technical trades were onboarded, with 93% receiving industry attachment offers. Placement coordinators provided mentorship and created feedback loops to enhance employer engagement. A 40-hour hybrid instructor training program reached over 250 trainers, supported by 100+ instructional videos, peer-led WhatsApp communities, and gamified learning strategies. We ran a pilot using an AI-powered interview bot to gauge youth interest, facilitating over 450 mock…
