There were two talks on education, both focussing on incentives in school education, at the recently held Takshashila Shala in Chennai.
In the first talk, I spoke on what we can do differently to try and achieve the goal of providing a quality education for all children in India within the next ten years, something we haven't been able to do for the past 60 years.
I presented three ideas on what we could do differently. One of the ideas is a policy change for the Government to think about and the other two are something that we as civil society need to think about.
In the other very interesting talk, Gautam John of Akshara Foundation described the findings from recent research on incentives in public primary education.
