About this role
Background
Leadership For Skilled Education Foundation (branded as Leadership for Equity, LFE) is a non-profit organisation based in Pune, Maharashtra, working to strengthen India’s public education system so that every child learns and thrives. We envision public education systems that refuse to let children down.
LFE partners with state and district governments across multiple states—including Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Haryana—to improve teaching practices and build sustained academic support structures within the public system. Our work is anchored in the belief that public education systems are the gatekeepers of social equity, and strengthening them is essential to ensuring that every child has access to strong foundational and future-ready learning.
Approach
LFE’s systems-change approach focuses on improving classroom practice and enabling government ownership through three core levers:
- Co-creating high-quality curricular resources and building teacher capacity
- Developing academic leadership to coach and mentor teachers
- Providing data-driven advisory support and policy implementation guidance
Our model empowers teachers as instructional leaders and embeds long-term support through government-run mentor cadres, continuous classroom observation cycles, and in-system academic structures. Technology plays a critical role, including an in-house Classroom Observation App for real-time monitoring and a WhatsApp-based teacher support chatbot for contextual resource delivery.
The approach is iterative and context-responsive, grounded in classroom realities and tailored to state and district needs. Implementation varies across geographies—whether working directly with teachers or through government-appointed mentors—ensuring relevance and feasibility within existing structures. A continuous feedback loop of training, observation, and coaching moves beyond one-time interventions toward sustained practice change. All programs are co-designed and co-implemented with government partners to ensure scale, sustainability, and systemic ownership, ultimately leading to improved student learning outcomes in foundational and future literacy.
About the Work: Shikshak Sahyogi Chatbot
LFE is developing the Shikshak Sahyogi Chatbot as a conversational academic support partner for teachers.
Teachers will be able to use the chatbot to access:
- Lesson plans
- Classroom activities
- Support for addressing student misconceptions
- Strategies for differentiated classrooms
- Assessment and practice questions
- Introductory classroom activities
- Model responses and other academic resources
The intent is to provide teachers with reliable academic support when a mentor is unavailable. The chatbot will be accessible through WhatsApp, a platform teachers already use regularly, and will provide contextual resources and responses grounded in expert-reviewed content.
As part of this initiative, LFE is developing a large FLN Question Repository for Grades 1–5. The repository will include chapter-mapped and competency-mapped questions aligned with the Haryana FLN Curriculum Framework, NIPUN Bharat goals, and Haryana SCERT/NCERT textbooks.
