Position: Teacher - Educator
School: Government Schools (Bengaluru)- Inventure Community Schools
Location: Bengaluru (Kodathi, Siddanahosahalli, Shivajinagar)
INVENTURE ACADEMY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
In 2019, Inventure Academy along with Whitefield Ready (a volunteer organisation), signed the MoU with the Department of Public Instruction, to adopt the Government Higher Primary School, Ramagondanahalli (RGH).
The partnership set out to improve the quality of education at RGH over a period of five years and create a sustainable model of the ‘Public Private Partnership’ that can be shared with other stakeholders to be scaled by other public and private partners. We are now in the sixth year of this partnership and the school has grown from less than 200 students to over 1000 students with a waitlist of over 300 students for the academic year 2025-26. Our first batch of SSLC students brought in excellent results and an ASER assessment showed our student learning outcomes to be way ahead of state averages. This school is now the most sought-after Government School in Karnataka.
Scaling the Model: Inspired by the success of the model at RGH, and in response to the Government of Karnataka’s request to adopt more schools, Inventure Academy and Prestige Group partnered to sign an MoU with the DSE (Department of School Education) on August 19, 2024, to adopt three more government schools as Inventure Community Schools in Bengaluru and replicate the PPP model at the newly adopted schools.
