CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Government of Karnataka has partnered with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) South Asia to set up a “learning lab” to solve some of the biggest challenges in school education through science and data.
The “learning lab” will enable global research insights to shape Karnataka’s school education policies while giving fresh impetus to scientific evaluations of new and existing school education programmes through randomised evaluations.
The Government of Karnataka’s Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSEL) will work with J-PAL South Asia to rapidly expand the reach of innovative policy solutions that have been effective in strengthening foundational learning and reducing learning gaps of children.
This effort stands to benefit children across age groups, from early childhood to adolescence.
This knowledge and research collaboration enables DoSEL to leverage J-PAL South Asia’s technical expertise to identify, adapt, and implement scientifically-proven education interventions from India and around the world.
A memorandum of understanding was signed by Mr. KN Ramesh , I.A.S, State Project Director, Samagra Shikshana Karnataka, Department of School Education and Literacy, Government of Karnataka and Shobhini Mukerji, Executive Director, J-PAL South Asia, in the presence of Shri.
