In Gujarat, India, the Aga Khan School, Mundra has achieved affiliation with the Central Board of Secondary Education to offer Grades 11 and 12, enabling young students to stay home and finish higher secondary school without having to migrate to distant cities.

“Schools should be the centre of social change, not the target of change. This platform gives teachers a way to reclaim the discourse about ‘what works’ to improve holistic learning outcomes in some of the most challenging contexts in the world,” said Dr Andrew Cunningham, the Global Lead for Education at the Aga Khan Foundation.
