Central Square Foundation recently hosted the inaugural edition of its annual conference, CSF Education Conclave. With this year’s theme of ‘Building a Strong Foundation for School Education in India’, the conference served as a unique platform for policymakers, academics, educators, and tech innovators to delve into conversations around the effective implementation of the mandates laid out in the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the NIPUN Bharat Mission.

A myriad of insights and perspectives were shared by our speakers during the lineup of engaging panel discussions and expert talks, shedding light on the crucial role of collaboration between the government, education sector, and society in transforming education delivery in India.

The conclave also saw the unveiling of an independently conducted, first-of-its-kind household survey on EdTech products called ‘BaSE: Bharat Survey for EdTech’ that covered almost 10K children, across six states between November 2022 and January 2023. Voicing the opinion of parents and children from across the country, the survey comes as a stepping stone for policymakers, educators, and technology innovators to create a conducive environment for EdTech and work towards enhancing the quality of education for all.
