Praise for ALfA

Dr. Sunita Gandhi,s 30 hour literacy and numeracy model is highly innovative, and highly scalable, that can benefit school children, out of school children and illiterate adults
Rickie Dhillon, USA
The Superintendent of Kepler School, Fresno, California
I am forever grateful for the opportunity you gave Kepler. In 4th grade, we had so many kids who couldn't write or read. Our 4th grade teachers are the most hardworking and understanding teachers, and they wanted kids to learn and read. My daughter is there in 4th grade, and her reading ability is now getting better each day, her scores improved significantly. Our school is excited, and our growth is accelerating. Everybody is praising the curriculum
Mary Mc Cool Berry

Children have a wonderful visualization power and ALfA is one of those innovative programs which engages people from all walks of life because it ensures that you are involved as a recipient of the learning, as a facilitator of that learning and thus is disruptive.

Former Ambassador of India to Qatar
This method introduced by Dr. Sunita Gandhi, is Globalization in its best Manifestation, Globalization of Literacy. We urge the government and corporate bodies worldwide to lend support necessary for taking this project further.
Alok Ranjan
Former Chief Secretary, Government of Uttar Pradesh
I have been very impressed with the toolkit developed by Dr. Sunita Gandhi, which takes less time to make a person literate, and a less educated person can also become a literacy volunteer.

ALfA Sky High
Dear Esteemed Educators,
Envision a transformative education that was once just a distant dream, now within every parent's budget, and by which children can master a year's curriculum in half a year, joyfully.
Our 22 years multi-country research shows children learn more when they collaborate. With books and processes designed for pair work, ALfA (Accelerating Learning for All) is a child-led approach by which children master content at least one grade higher and develop 21st century skills and traits naturally.
We cannot blend the old with the new, just as you cannot add smartphone features to a traditional landline. Like a smart phone with advanced features, we can truly grasp ALfA by using it.
ALfA has gained recognition from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA. What,s more! 100% of the proceeds go to DEVI Sanstan,s literacy programs, with exponential expansion into 14,000 government schools in just a year.
We're inviting institutions ready for a significant change to embrace the future of education, to move forward with faith. Let,s begin a much needed new chapter in education today.

Upschool Advantage
Dear Esteemed Educators,
I'm Gavin McCormack from Upschool.co, where we're transforming education in collaboration with Dr. Sunita Gandhi and the ALfA program. Our initiatives range from building libraries and planting urban forests to empowering students to create and innovate. They've written books, composed songs, and our teachers have received significant recognition.
Our annual Upschool Children's Day Conference, attended by notable figures, celebrates these achievements. Our partnership with ALfA is enhancing children's literacy and creativity, as they author their own books. We focus on holistic, lifelong learning and making a meaningful difference.
Join us in this journey of educational innovation
