Tara.Ed

Tara. Ed aims to promote sustainable quality education across south Asia by building star teachers to help children shine.

Tara. Ed is a non-denominational not-for-profit organisation that has three main focuses:

1. the creation of cross cultural links between Australian and Indian schools,
2. hands on training programs for Indian and Australian teachers through a teacher tour and skills exchange, and
3. the provision of resources for rural schools to enhance the education project.

Unlike other initiatives, Tara. Ed targets teachers rather than students in order to provide quality education.

Through productive pedagogy, skills exchange and material resourcing, Tara. Ed aims to increase the quality and value of education in rural communities, thus addressing a major obstacle to primary completion. Furthermore, collaboration with Indian teachers and practical experience in a foreign education system will increase the skills of Australian teachers and student teachers resulting in benefits for both countries.
