Pratishthan Learning Centre started in 2013 as a unique fast-track education program for underprivileged children who are lagging in the education system for a few years due to fractured schooling or who dropped out of school for unfortunate situations. This program gets an out-of-school teenager career-ready in 5 years based on education. The students complete Grades 6 to 10 in 3 years and in the next 2 years complete Grade 12 along with a vocational skill.
Additionally, vocational skill training is provided to all students. Communication, personality development, language ability, soft skill training (for ease of job hiring), and etiquette development are all integrated into the curriculum to encourage the holistic development of the students. In short, Pratishthan Learning Center not just focuses on quality education for underprivileged school drop-outs but also prepares them for formal sector jobs.
