Learning Support Centres (LSCs), jointly conceived and initiated by the Aga Khan Foundation and the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (India), cater to the educational needs of rural children from marginalised and disadvantaged communities in India.
LSCs support primary grade children, in the 6-12 age group, by addressing their learning gaps and enabling them to become independent learners. These centres function during after-school hours and provide academic support, which complements children’s learning in school and demonstrates a model of quality education to communities.
This brief document outlines the LSC approach, pedagogy, professional development of teachers and the role of the community in supporting the centres.
LSCs are implemented in the Muzaffarpur and Samastipur Districts of Bihar by AKRSP(I).
