United Kingdom Educational Initiatives Pvt. Ltd. Full time

Vijayawada, India | Posted on 03/07/2023

Founded in 2001, Educational Initiatives Private Limited (EI), is South Asia’s leading assessment research and educational technology organization, motivated by the vision of creating “a world where children everywhere are learning with understanding”. Our goal is to reach a multitude of children across different strata of society, irrespective of the kind of education they are receiving today or the curriculum they are following. With our focus on educational research, assessments, pedagogy-based personalized adaptive learning (PAL), and a Science of Learning (SoL) repository of data and techniques to help children learn better, we continue to strive to leverage the twin levers of cutting-edge educational research and a technology-based solutions approach to revolutionize how children in the K-12 education space learn.

The Assessments team is in charge of creating and delivering high-quality assessments, capacity building and technical enhancement programs as part of Ei Shiksha, a vertical of Ei that exclusively works with low-income or government schools. It takes Ei's expertise in assessments, educational research, and technology-based personalized adaptive learning and builds solutions/programmes/products contextualised for the B-o-P settings. This is done in collaboration with state governments, international grantmakers, corporate foundations, and NGOs.

Over the past two decades, EI has undertaken over 80+ projects with 50+ government and civil society partners (16+ languages, 40+ detailed studies published) across geographies, and socio-linguistic backgrounds in India and abroad, for more than 10 million students across different grades. EI has offices in Bangalore and Ahmedabad in India, with 350+ staff members specializing in different aspects of assessments, technology, training and project management. The top executives at EI serve/have served as advisors on boards of several educational committees for the State and Central Government of India.

We have worked on several large-scale systems change projects in India with Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Gujarat Secondary Education Board (GSEB), SCERT Haryana, Bihar Education Project Council, SSA Tamil Nadu, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh government agencies and the countries of Maldives and Bhutan. Our work has been funded by UNICEF, the World Bank, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Department for International Development (DfID) - UK, The Partnership to Strengthen Innovation and Practice in Secondary Education (PSIPSE), MacArthur Foundation, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation (MSDF), Hewlett Foundation, McKinsey, Harvard University and the University of Newcastle.
