Strengthening Education Systems Through Inclusive, Future-Ready Learning



The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has set a transformative agenda for India’s education system—one that prioritizes learners, teachers, and equitable access to quality education. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4, NEP calls for holistic learning environments that build 21st-century skills, enhance digital access, and improve teaching-learning processes across all levels.
Centum Foundation supports this vision through CSR initiatives in education, focusing on strengthening learning outcomes, improving access for underserved communities, and enabling schools to adopt technology-driven, experiential, and inclusive pedagogies.
Our programs address systemic barriers faced by students—especially girls, children from low-income households, and vulnerable communities—ensuring they stay in school, learn effectively, and progress confidently in their academic and personal journeys.
Our Skills & Employability programs focus on removing barriers to employment by combining
Our approach ensures that students benefit from improved learning environments, teachers gain the skills they need to deliver impactful lessons, and schools move closer to NEP-aligned quality benchmarks.
