Ep. 72: Creating magic in India's classrooms by teaching teachers with CEQUE founder Anju Saigal
“If some teachers can create magic in the classroom, then why not all?”
Anju Saigal founded the non-profit CEQUE (pron. Seekhey) to upskill teachers in underprivileged communities in India after working in the education space for decades. Trained at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and in field work through Pratham (one of India’s largest education focused non-profits), Anju shares how observing classroom teaching in action led her to create a non-profit focused on supporting and training teachers to improve the quality of education. Join us as India celebrates 75 years of independence to hear about the challenges and opportunities facing its youngest learners!
