In order to reform the education landscape in India, CCS has advocated for public involvement to expand the platform for dialogue and break the arbitrary control exercised by the State. As part of this initiative we are now organising ‘Parents Forum for Student Education’ to strengthen parental voice in policy-making and create a foundation for parent-led activism. Our first Forum was organised in Hastsal (Delhi) with parent-leader representatives and amalgamated their diverses experiences with schooling, their understanding of student requirements, and challenges under the current system.
