Title: To understand how schools prepare children to become Active Citizens and influence policy decisions
Sponsor: State Government of Maharashtra, India
Position: Post-graduate Researcher
Location: University of York, UK
Abstract: IEA is collecting Citizenship and Civic Engagement related data from schools belonging to more than 30 countries over the last 20years. A predictive model can be developed and trained, using the Machine Learning algorithms to peep into the future of Active Citizenship. This predictive model will allow to feed data of any country (not participated till date) and predict the future. Those countries will then plan policies considering those inputs and design programs to implement those policies. Most importantly, monitoring data collected during the program implementations shall be used for improvising those predictive models over time.

Title: How Balanced Literacy help in achieving better Learning-Outcomes in Language (Marathi) and Mathematics (Arithmetic), in the Multi-Lingual (tribal) context?
Funding: Shantilal Muttha Foundation
Position: Head, Research
Location: Dharni Block, Amaravati District, Maharashtra, India
Description: Dharni belongs to the Tribal region of Melghat which reported high infancy deaths for more than half of a century. Block has a multilingual context where local dialect is Korku (without script), transaction language is Hindi, and medium of instruction is Marathi. Overall learning-level is very low in comparison to other parts of the state. This research may recognize the inputs required to increase Learning Outcomes in a multilingual tribal context.
