Background
About Leadership For Equity (LFE)
Leadership For Skilled Education Foundation (branded as Leadership For Equity, LFE), is a non-profit (NGO). In our two-fold approach to change, we build the capacity of government system leaders and we influence system processes. In partnership with the local and state education bodies, we co-create programs that shift teaching-learning practices and improve student learning and well-being. This work coupled with our research and advisory support to influence policies, we hope to create effective government education systems.
BELIEF:
We believe Public Education Systems are the gatekeepers of social EQUITY, especially when Indias 120 million poorest of the poor children go to government-run schools. A multi-layered, complex, and systemic problem of educational inequity, will require a solution rooted in the SYSTEMS CHANGE approach. We believe that a COLLECTIVE effort by forging partnerships with governments, like-minded philanthropists, corporates, donors, nonprofits and grassroots organisations will help bring scalable and sustainable social change.
VISION:
We envision Public Education Systems That Refuse To Let Children Down

We have co-created and implemented 7 different programs and have multi-year MoUs with 9 govt. bodies including District Zilla Parishads, DIETs, SCERTs, SSA, Department of School Education & Sports, Govt.of Maharashtra, Haryana & Tripura, and currently expanding to Andhra Pradesh.
