I recently read an interview done by the founder of Rocket Learning, an NGO that aims to ensure that every child in India has access to high-quality early childhood education. It does this by training Anganwadi Workers (The Anganwadi System is a public daycare system that has been set up by the government) and providing parents of children who go to the Anganwadi Centres with short digital practice lessons every day. Students are encouraged to watch these lessons and do the activities done in them. These students are also given rewards and nudges once they do activities. These rewards and nudges are given in the form of virtual 'report cards' and certificates.
I believe that Rocket Learning is doing great work as they are focusing on the most important group - students between the ages of 3 to 6. This group is very important as these are the years when humans start gaining curiosity and education is the only way to sustain this curiosity through high-quality education. At the same time, I believe that there also needs to be some focus on children between the ages of 0 to 3.
