How to reform 15,000 schools without spending a single extra cent
In short: Seema Bansal demonstrates that systemic educational reform doesn't always require massive funding. By focusing on creative, low-cost communication and clear goals, she has measurably improved learning outcomes across a massive public school system in India.
Bansal set an ambitious target for Haryana, India: ensuring 80 percent of children reached grade-level knowledge by 2020. Rather than seeking new budgets, her team focused on reforms that work within existing resource constraints.
The strategy relies on straightforward techniques, such as using SMS group chats to maintain constant communication with teachers. These methods have already resulted in measurable improvements in both student engagement and learning across 15,000 schools.
