Even More Sobering Stats
RTEPrimary school: near universal enrollment, free education
![Page 8: Gyanada Foundation Launch - 2013](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020716/554db015b4c905ff7a8b5196/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Even More Sobering Stats
Only 30% of Class III students could read the texts meant for Class I students — vs 50%, 4 years ago
Similar decline in arithmetic skills
Government schools still terrible, even rural and slum-based parents know this
Absent teachers
Girls still disproportionately dropping out of school — after free primary school.
Simple things: 45% of schools do not have access to separate or usable toilets for girls.
Enrollment declining in major states of the last 4 years especially for girls between the ages of 11 to 14

How we can make a difference
Shift the effort away from ‘send girls to school, any school’, to ‘send them to GOOD schools’
Think beyond financial contributions: the Gyanada roadmap
Collect data and track progress of girls’ education in areas we function in, as granular level of education data research vs other non-profits’ macro data (e.g. Pratham’s excellent education data)

Transparency, accountability...
We are registered as Gyanada Foundation Limited in the Republic of Singapore, a company registered by guarantee (first step towards becoming a VWO or charity)
We are working towards official non-profit / charity status once we have an established track record (Singapore government regulations)
We have a board of trustees and members whose jobs are to make sure that the accounts are in order
![Page 15: Gyanada Foundation Launch - 2013](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020716/554db015b4c905ff7a8b5196/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Transparency, accountability...
Every member of the team who is affiliated to an organization in India that receives funding is required to have oversight from two managing directors and a third party when funds are being disbursed
There will be a page dedicated to transparency on our website which will show where we stand
Lists of the girls who receive the funding will be available to all donors
We will make our funding and disbursal situation clear and transparent in our report to the board and donors, every 6 months
If you want to go to India to visit the girls you have sponsored, we will connect you
