20 schools and 20 independent teachers are to be selected based on specific criteria, including the submission of a research proposal and approval thereof
Zamit, an AI-enabled one-stop solution provider for school education, in association with The Future Foundation, a not-for-profit body, has announced a research grant worth Rs 1 million.
The grant will be extended to select schools and independent teachers for demonstrably implementing research-driven teaching and learning solutions to help their students become future-ready. The announcement of this grant has been in tune with the focus and recommendations of the government’s New Economic Policy or NEP 2020, which seeks to drive a research-based approach to teach in schools endorsing the incorporation of future-ready skill training as an integral part of subject learning and curricula.
To receive this grant, both schools and independent teachers must submit a research proposal which will be vetted by a screening committee appointed by Zamit and its academic partner Qualifications and Assessments International or QAI, UK.
At the same time, while schools must demonstrate the desire to support at least 500 students, teachers must be able to keep at least 50 school students in their journey of future readiness. The grant will be available to primary and secondary school teachers with at least three years of relevant teaching experience and demonstrable skills in implementing new and innovative teaching and mentoring methods.
