Educational inequity continues to limit students' learning, agency, and life opportunities.
Large proportions of teachers remain undertrained in pedagogical methods and digital instruction, contributing to inequitable learning outcomes.
Who We Are
NIVA Education Foundation was established with a simple belief: every learner deserves access to joyful, meaningful, and equitable learning experiences. Our name reflects our vision of Nurturing Individuals Valuing Ambitions, and our work is rooted in the conviction that education should not only improve academic outcomes but also foster curiosity, confidence, agency, and lifelong learning.
We envision a world where education is joyful, equitable, and meaningful where classrooms inspire questions instead of just answers, teachers are empowered as changemakers, and schools become spaces that unlock human potential.
Why we do what we do
Foundational learning goals are unmet for 7 out of 10 students
A 2024 UNESCO report reveals that 70% of Indian children lack basic reading and arithmetic skills by age 10, signaling a deep learning crisis, not just an enrollment gap.
More than half of Indian graduates are unemployable
In 2024, only 42.6% of university graduates were employable down from 44.3% in 2023 with non-technical employability falling sharply to 43.5%.
Our Mission
To work with teachers, school leaders, and students to strengthen learning experiences through practice-based capacity building, experiential learning, and sustained coaching support.
