TIIE-EL-Endline Report

Introduction

As a part of the Technology Integration for Inclusive Education (TIIE) project of IT for Change, a module was developed for assessing mathematics and language abilities of students in grades 6 and 7 in government higher primary schools in Bengaluru at the end of the academic year and a series of interactions. The aim was to facilitate an understanding of their progress through the year. The endline engaged around x students from x schools in a series of activities, wherein students worked individually or in pairs to complete assigned tasks. Their responses were used to learn more about students’ levels of learning, cognitive skills, their engagement and the challenges they faced.
