#NewBlog | How can a classroom-level learning gap shape state-wide education priorities? In this blog, The Best Policy Conversations Begin in Classrooms, Kritagya Kriti explores how CSF’s work with the district administration in Basti, Uttar Pradesh, brought student learning evidence into conversations on academic support and education policy. When an end-of-year assessment found that 60% of Grade 2 students in Basti had scored zero in Independent Writing, the finding prompted a deeper conversation about unfinished learning and how children could catch up before the gap widened. Weeks later, Uttar Pradesh issued directions on Catch-up Shikshan, outlining measures to help children revisit foundational competencies and strengthen their learning. The blog reflects on how classroom observations, assessment data and conversations with education officials can inform wider policy discussions, while recognising that statewide decisions involve many people and sources of evidence. 📖 Read the blog here: lnkd.in/p/gMUM_m_R If you work in education, governance or foundational learning, this is a story worth reading. @Basti_Bsa #EducationPolicy #FoundationalLearning #UttarPradesh
