We are one of the six partners of MCGM running a school under their School Support Program. We are managing Saibaba Path Mumbai Public School at Lalbaug Parel.
Educo manages Saibaba Path Mumbai Public School at Lalbaug, Parel under the School Support Program of the MCGM (Public-Private Partnership Policy). Currently, we serve 800+ children coming from the underserved communities of Parel, Lalbaug.
Educo is a public charitable trust that runs a 21st century pilot school at Saibabapath Mumbai Public School, Lalbaug, Parel in partnership with Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) under their School Support Programme. We parallelly work on developing relevant and replicable teaching-learning practices to improve student learning outcomes. These are shared with the municipal school teachers through teacher training to improve the delivery of education in these schools.
The community of Parel is still reeling from the aftermath of the mill closures in the 80’s when the parents of our children lost their jobs. Being pushed into conditions of dire poverty and lack of education they continue to work as manual labourers, many casual and domestic.
It is only quality education in the facility of the MCGM and under the aegis of Right to Education 2009, which can create career opportunities available in the metropolis of Mumbai for these children to aspire for a better future.
Our approach is to strengthen school systems that serve the marginalized communities by leveraging teachers’ capacities to bring change in the teaching-learning environment.
School Model : - Educo manages Saibabapath Mumbai Public School school in partnership with MCGM. We provide holistic education to our students across by working on 4 focus areas - holistic child development, pedagogy and teacher development, government outreach and community engagement. We are school-of-choice for the underprivileged in the neighborhood community of Lalbaug, Parel.
Model-of-Scale : - Our idea of scale is to become a Center-of-excellence by creating evidence-based solutions for all MCGM schools to adopt, adapt & grow. We develop and deliver training support and solutions to teachers who serve in the under-resourced setting. We are MCGM’s trainer-of-choice. We have trained 600+ MCGM teachers from around Mumbai, at their behest.
Educo is deeply grateful to the MCGM Public Private Partnership Cell, under whose umbrella the School Support Program runs. We have been working with the MCGM since 2008, and this partnership has allowed us to make an invaluable impact on the Lalbaug community.
Under the tutelage of the MCGM, the children at Saibaba Path MPS enjoy the following facilities:
At Educo, the management ensures strict compliance with all MCGM rules and regulations. We are also abreast with the developments of RTE and its compliances in the school environment.
