Need to write a ratinale and need section in the proposal from, learning links foundation to partner with Qualcomm's Flagship AQRITI program in tumkuru district This program will focus on Foundational literacy and Numeracy for students from Grade I-V and and STEM education and digital learning in grades VI- VIII with teacher training and school leadership strengthening as one of the common comonents.. I need to write the background for the project and the need specially in Tumkuru Block in karnataka
Proposal: Partnering with Qualcomm's AQRITI program in Tumkur District, Karnataka

1. Rationale

Learning Links Foundation (LLF) recognizes the critical role of quality education in empowering children and driving social progress. However, achieving this goal requires addressing foundational learning gaps and fostering 21st-century skills like digital literacy and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) competencies.

Partnering with Qualcomm's AQRITI program presents a unique opportunity to address these challenges in Tumkur district, Karnataka. By combining LLF's expertise in education with Qualcomm's AQRITI program's focus on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), STEM education, digital learning, teacher training, and school leadership strengthening, this collaboration can create a holistic and impactful learning ecosystem for students in Grades I-VIII.

2. Needs Assessment: Why Tumkur District?

There is a compelling need to prioritize educational interventions in Tumkur district. Here's a breakdown of the key factors:

Learning Gaps: Reports (you can search for relevant Karnataka government reports on education) indicate that Karnataka, including Tumkur district, faces challenges with foundational learning skills in government schools. Many students struggle with reading comprehension, basic math operations, and critical thinking.

Limited Exposure to STEM/Digital Learning: While the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes STEM education and digital learning, infrastructural limitations and teacher training gaps often hinder effective implementation in government schools across Karnataka, likely including Tumkur district.

Teacher Training Needs: Equipping teachers with the necessary skills and resources to deliver effective FLN, STEM, and digital learning programs is crucial. In-service teacher training programs can address this gap and improve classroom pedagogy in Tumkur district.

School Leadership Strengthening: Strong school leadership is essential for creating a conducive learning environment and driving school improvement plans. The AQRITI program's focus on school leadership development can significantly benefit schools in Tumkur.

By focusing on these critical needs in Tumkur district, this partnership between LLF and Qualcomm's AQRITI program has the potential to cre
