Job description

Pratham Education Foundation (Pratham) is one of the largest education NGOs in India with a record of innovative, rigorously evaluated programs that have inspired similar programs across three continents. With a history spanning 30 years, Pratham’s work today extends from programs for early and elementary years to girls and women, and youth skilling. Through programs covering 25 states and Union Territories, in an average year, Pratham usually reaches over 6 million children and youth. This is achieved through a combination of efforts: directly working with children and youth in communities, as well as through collaborations with state and district-level governments.

Pratham has received notable awards such as the Lui Che Woo Prize, WISE Prize for Innovation, Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship, the Henry R Kravis Prize in Leadership and the CNN-IBN Indian of the Year for Public Service. Pratham also received the 2021 Yidan Prize for Education Development and the Yashraj Bharati Samman in 2025.

Pratham’s intensive work in the field of early childhood education for the past 30 years shows that children have an innate ability to understand Mathematical concepts such as estimation, approximation, comparison, etc. much before they come to school.

The early years at Pratham comprise the age group of 3 to 8 years.

• Developing compelling course content and engaging learning materials for children.
• Building and reinforcing teachers’ capacities via online and offline workshops.

• Supporting the roll out of the content on the ground and identifying gaps and required course correction on a regular basis.
