The UN Sustainable Development (SDG) Goal 4 aims to ensure ‘inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’. In India, the Right to Education Act 2009, the National Policy on Education, the National Curriculum Framework and Sarva Siksha Abhiyaan are among the few policy documents which have shaped the course of education in the country. While we are close to achieving the goal of universal education, we cannot neglect the disconnects prevalent within the mainstream system that sowed the seeds of Muktangan.
Our founding trustee had one question in mind “Is it possible to create a learning environment for both children and teachers? ”It is with this question that the “Muktangan model” was developed to demonstrate the best practices in education through an inclusive, student and teacher friendly, community-based system within mainstream schooling. Since its inception in 2003, Muktangan has now grown into a unique model delivering holistic education to over 4000+ children from underserved educational communities, livelihood opportunities to 800+ community members through our pre-service teacher education programme and employment opportunities to 600+ teachers and teacher educators in the 7 Muktangan run Municipal schools in Mumbai. Our ‘total schools’ approach’ provides holistic learning keeping in mind 21st century skills which are so essential for young learners of today. We are also working in partnership with various stakeholders in urban and rural areas as knowledge partners to deliver integrated solutions to education. Through our outreach projects, we have reached out to and impacted 75000+ children and 5000+ teachers and teacher educators.
