Sonny Chungkham, Director of Policy and Partnerships at STAR Education, said, “We normally keep the department in the loop and submit our reports to it periodically. The ZEOs sought their greater involvement in the programme. They wanted us to conduct regular and direct interactions with them. This is because they want to frequently know about the programme’s progress – how the schools and the children are doing.”He added, “In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) framework, STAR Education reiterates its commitment to supporting the Manipur government in implementing national educational goals. This alignment is central to the organization’s mission, ensuring that all efforts are geared towards achieving the broader objectives set by the NEP.”Sujatha Muthayya, Vice President, Asia, Policy & Partnership, NewGlobe, said STAR Education has seen increased confidence of parents consciously choosing government schools for the quality improvements they see. Talking about the relevance of the training, she said, “It’s not mastery over content. We give them mastery over scientifically proven methods which are known to demonstrate results. STAR Education is making teachers confident and students more invested.”She added, “Teachers now work in an environment of support, handholding, coaching and better performance. We create that enabling environment for them to be able to produce results. Parents are now keen on sending their children to government schools.”STAR Education provides training and continued support to ensure that the educators possess the required skills for effective teaching and classroom management. The training is grounded in the science of learning and shaped by scientifically tested insights gleaned over a decade.
