Specifically, we work towards improving learning conditions in the most disadvantaged schools and providing opportunities for students to transition to junior secondary education in communities without junior secondary schools. Additionally, our program incentivizes the development of a mechanism in each state to ensure the equitable distribution of resources beyond our intervention.
