At Simple Education Foundation (SEF), we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive through powerful learning experiences. Skilled, loving, and intuitive teachers can transform the way students learn, creating a lasting impact on their lives. This year, we are raising funds to support our **Partner School Program**, where we work directly with 8 government schools in Uttarakhand and Delhi, reaching over 1,200 students in Grades K-5.

$125: Supports the learning of one student for one year in SEF’s Sandbox School (Partner School).
$500: Covers part of a qualified Teacher Trainer’s salary for one month.
$1,500: Funds annual evaluations across SEF’s 7 Sandbox Schools.
$3,500: Supports one classroom in SEF’s Sandbox Schools for a full year.
$5,000: Contributes to the development of online teacher training modules and SEF's web platform.

Your contribution will enable these students to access high-quality learning throughout the year, providing them with opportunities they might not otherwise have. Our program equips teachers with the skills and support needed to ensure the learning in these schools is engaging and impactful, giving children the path to success.

Beyond these 8 schools, the impact of your donation extends further. We are scaling up the learnings from this program across our other initiatives, ensuring that your support not only benefits 800+ students today but also impacts several lakh students across India in the long term. Our work with state governments aims to build scalable teacher training programs that improve education quality in public schools nationwide.

Join us in making transformative education accessible for every child and empowering teachers to lead classrooms of the future.

Runway of Hope 2025 | Empowering Public Schools in India

SEF designs and implements state-wide training programs for teachers & principals, to make learning more engaging & impactful.

**About Us**

Founded in 2013, **Simple Education Foundation (SEF)** is dedicated to transforming education in India’s government schools by empowering teachers to create meaningful and impactful learning experiences. Our work began with **Prayog Shala**, a community learning center in Delhi, and has since expanded across multiple states, impacting over 160,000 teachers and students.

At SEF, we collaborate with state governments to design and implement **statewide teacher training programs**, focusing on sustainable, region-specific solutions. We co-design frameworks with educators to ensure that these programs are scalable and self-sustaining. Through our programs, we aim to bridge the gap in education quality between government and private schools, equipping teachers with the skills and support needed to provide excellent education to all children.

With our latest initiative, **Teachers for Tomorrow**, we’re preparing the next generation of educators to lead classrooms that inspire learning, growth, and social change. Our mission is to reach **1 million teachers by 2028**, ensuring that every child in India has access to high-quality education.

**Our Mission**

At SEF, our mission is to empower **1 million teachers by 2028**, transforming classrooms across India and ensuring every student receives a high-quality education. We aim to equip teachers to become catalysts for change, creating equitable learning environments where every child can thrive, regardless of their socio-economic background.

**Our Vision**

Our vision is clear: every child in India should have access to high-quality education that paves the way for a brighter future. We are committed to breaking down barriers to education, ensuring that no child’s potential is limited by their circumstances.

**Our Programs and Journey**

In 2016, SEF took a significant step by partnering with the state government of Jammu & Kashmir to launch a teacher training program for over 85,000 teachers. This success marked a turning point, allowing us to dive deeper into our mission of teacher development and educational transformation.

That same year, we started working in Uttarakhand, where we established a community learning center in the village of Gular. This program has since evolved into several initiatives, including the Sashak Prathamik program, which today works with five primary schools in the Tehri Garhwal region. We also collaborate with the Narendra Nagar block to develop and facilitate their mentor teacher coaching and training programs.

In 2017, we launched our Centers of Excellence program in Delhi, working with seven government primary schools. Today, we continue to partner with three of these schools, focusing on enhancing learning outcomes and teacher effectiveness.

By 2021, SEF had extended its partnership with the Delhi government and SCERT to design and implement a competency-based teacher training program aimed at strengthening teacher competencies and the mentor teacher program across the state.

This year, we expanded our work to include collaborations with the state governments of Uttarakhand and Punjab. Our efforts focus on delivering comprehensive teacher development programs that include both training and coaching, developed in close partnership with block and district resource officials.

Our newest initiative, Teachers for Tomorrow (formerly Future Teacher Program), launched in 2022, is designed to equip aspiring teachers with the skills and mindset necessary to become exceptional educators. Under this program, we aim to ensure that these future educators are fully prepared to lead classrooms that inspire and nurture the next generation.

**Our Achievements**

•	Impacted more than 160,000 teachers across Delhi, Uttarakhand, Punjab, and Jammu & Kashmir.

•	Established eight government partnership schools, setting new standards for quality education.

•	Team members and individuals associated with SEF have been selected as fellows with prestigious global organizations such as Acumen, the Dalai Lama Program, WISE Qatar, Teach for All, and more.

•	SEF has participated in and presented at national and international conferences, contributing to thought leadership in the field of education through research papers and findings.

•	Recognized as a “Great Place to Work” for three consecutive years.

**Future Plans**

Looking ahead, SEF is focused on scaling our impact across multiple states and programs. Currently, under the Centers of Excellence program within our Government Partner School Program, we work with eight schools in Uttarakhand and Delhi. Our State In-Service Teacher Training Programs span Delhi, Punjab, and Uttarakhand, and in 2024, we aim to cumulatively impact over 1.5 lakh teachers through workshops, coaching programs, training sessions, and the provision of tools and resources.

Through our Teachers for Tomorrow program, which focuses on pre-service teacher education, we will work with over 2,000 aspiring teachers across several institutes in Delhi. This year, we also plan to pilot innovative programs that will help define and refine our strategy for developing the teachers of the future.

Our journey has been bolstered by the support of several esteemed organizations, including the Wipro Foundation, InfoEdge, Max India Foundation, Anu Agha and Meher Padamji Family Office, the Bikchandani Family Office, Padmini, V&A, Forest Essentials, Boston Consulting Group, and others. We have also built strong partnerships with government agencies across Jammu & Kashmir, Delhi, Uttarakhand, and Punjab.

As we move forward, SEF remains committed to building sustainable, scalable solutions for India’s education system, driven by the belief that every child deserves access to high-quality education.

**Looking Forward**

As we look ahead to 2028, SEF’s goal is to continue expanding our impact, reaching 1 million teachers and transforming classrooms across India. By strengthening teachers, we strengthen the future of our children and our nation.
