Stir Education
About Company
STiR has been working to address these challenges in India since 2012. By 2022, we have reached 180,000 teachers and 4.7 million children in 31 districts across three states (Delhi, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu).
Despite significant disruption during Covid-19, we’re proud to have supported government efforts to ensure the remote continuity of learning. We have experimented with new online learning platforms to support teachers and officials. These include videos, quizzes, field tasks, online discussion forums and group reflection meetings. We have also built the confidence of teachers and officials in using new technologies. As a result, our engagement with teachers and officials has been strong.
Uganda has one of the youngest populations in the world. Around half of its citizens are under the age of 15. And this population explosion is predicted to continue throughout the coming decades. Investment in education is therefore needed to support economic growth. At present, more than 700,000 young people enter the labour market each year with few job opportunities on offer.
