MUMBAI, 15 DECEMBER, 2021 (GPN): After almost 2 years, schools for Standard 1 to Standard 7 are re-opening in Maharashtra. Please find the below quote from Shaheen Mistri, CEO – Teach for India.

Finally, after 600 days, our children are back in school! Amidst the excitement and joy of them returning to school, let’s remember that our students and teachers need lots of support, over the next couple of years, to reverse the catastrophic learning losses and other challenges that two years of school closure have caused. Let’s do whatever it takes – bridge programs, small group instruction, less content, SEL time – to really get them back on track to the future they deserve  – Shaheen Mistri, CEO – Teach For India
