The OPEPA programme aimed to provide quality education to all children enrolled in the elementary education irrespective of their social background, caste and gender. To ensure the minimum learning achievement of the children at different grades and effective classroom transaction by the teachers in different classes, a holistic programme called Ujjwal was launched.
We undertook concurrent evaluation of the Ujjwal programme to offer policy options to accelerate learning levels of students. The overall focus of this evaluation was to provide quality and process monitoring in elementary education in Odisha and to improve school processes to enhance learning achievements.
