About Rocket Learning

Over 85% of brain development occurs before the age of six. Quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) ensures school readiness, substantially increases school completion and lifelong earnings, and frees up parents (especially women) to enter formal employment. It is called one of the 'greatest and most powerful equalizers' by India's National Education Policy. The Problem The Solution However, over 35 million children in India do not have access to high quality education at the preschool level, meaning that they are not ready when they enter the first grade in school. This leads to dismal educational outcomes at the foundational learning level - 43% of low income children can’t recognize letters of the alphabet and 35% numbers 1-9 in grade 1. Even worse, children have lost out on the chance to build their brain capacity and fall tens of IQ points behind their higher-income peers, as early as age six. This is a fundamental injustice that is nearly impossible to remedy later and condemns them to continue in the vicious cycle of poverty.
