Educoindia

We are, educo, an NGO located in Central Mumbai managing a school in partnership with the MCGM. Our curriculum is focused on providing high quality English medium education to our students. However, we lay equal emphasis on imparting structured value education in order to build the student’s character. With active parent engagement and commitment to educo, we are able to impact the local community thereby being catalysts for social change. Parel (Lalbaug) grapples with poverty and under-development, amidst the development and boomtown high rises surrounding it. This area is among the least literate communities in Mumbai. Education of the children and engagement with their parents will help this disenfranchised group of people into mainstream occupations. In a span of 6 years educo has reached 415 children (in 2014) Salient features: 1. We are one of the 4 NGOs which support MCGM schools out of total approximately 50 MCGM schools in our ward known as the F/S ward. 2. In a span of 6 years educo has reached 410 children (in 2014) from the initial 20 children in 2009. educo aims to catapult to around 1000 children in next 5 years. 3. The student to teacher ratio in pre- primary and primary medium is 15:1 and 20:1 respectively. 4. We are working on a structured sanskar program to provide our children with the tools and capability for inner happiness, i.e. teachings of meditation, ethics, relationships and responsibilities. 5. We continuously engage kids in local indigenous sports along with mainstream international games throughout the year. 6. Greater visibility for corporates & CSR projects for an employee engagement program which can be impactful, credible and logistically easy to implement as educo is at a viable location. We hope you will be the eventual employers of our future model citizens. We request you to visit the school and experience the passion on ground.
