About Shiksha

Shiksha is a suite of modular, configurable, user-centric and NDEAR-compliant modules (Digital Public Goods) for system actors in education.

There are 5 key actors in the public education ecosystem who perform 30+ daily functions - Teachers, Mentors and Monitors, Invigilators or Assessors, State Administrators, and Parents or Students. Shiksha aims to digitise these functions and package them into functional modules that render delightful and dependable user experiences.

Some examples of Shiksha Modules are:

1. Lesson Plans: Teachers are able to access centrally curated lesson plans, worksheets and content videos and share these with students
2. Assessments: Teachers or Mentors / Monitors can conduct spot assessments with ORF (oral reading fluency) integration to gauge learning levels of individual students
3. My Visits: Mentors and Monitors are able to view allocated school details, schedule inspection or mentoring visits, and record observations and teacher feedback

Shiksha follows a layered architecture allowing for modularity and interoperability

All Shiksha modules are conceptualised to adhere to NDEAR principles under the New Education Policy (NEP)

1. Completely open source, ensuring transparency and vendor neutrality
2. Interoperable via open APIs and standards to allow for content pieces from multiple sources
3. Minimal and reusable to allow generalisation / contextualisation basis needs
4. Electronic registry compliant, reference backend compatible with Sunbird registry and credentials for user data privacy
