A few self-motivated and driven young-sters have set in motion a set of activities that has the potential to transform how learning can take place amongst children. For this effort, their organisation, Rocket Learning Foundation was recognised in the form of Nexus of Good Annual Award, 2024. They have put in place a model that is already replicating and scaling in the true spirit of Nexus of Good through public-private partnership.
It is universally acknowledged that the first six years of a child's life represent a critical window of opportunity, during which 85 per cent of brain development occurs. These early experiences shape a child's cognitive skills, emotional well-being, and social development, laying the foundation for their entire future. In India, 60 million children lack access to cognitive stimulation, despite the existence of the most extensive state-administered Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme, delivered through 1.4 million Anganwadi Centers (AWCs).
These centers often focus predominantly on nutrition and healthcare, neglecting the crucial aspect of cognitive development staffed by under-trained and undervalued Anganwadi workers. Primary caregivers from marginalised communities frequently lack clarity on their role in supporting their child's learning and feel under confident due to their own low literacy levels. This gap in early learning opportunities reinforces cycles of poverty and systemic inequities that cannot be fully addressed by later remedial interventions.
Recognising this, Rocket Learning, an edtech non-profit intervenes during this pivotal period, from birth to age six. By fostering a robust, community-driven Early Childhood Development (ECD) system, Rocket Learning ensures that every child, regardless of income or background, reaches their full potential in both brain and body development by age six.
