About the SHEF
Study Hall Educational Foundation (SHEF) believes that the goal of education is not just to know, but to learn to live. We see classrooms as radical spaces of possibility and believe education is a powerful way to develop an authentic democratic society, provided the why, what and how of education is first transformed. To that end, SHEF has been working for nearly four decades to redefine education, and has built a network of initiatives and an institution around this commitment. The network comprises nine educational institutions and four outreach initiatives that provide quality education to all children, with a special focus on girls. Using a holistic, inclusive, life-outcomes based approach, we have re-cast education across the entire range of challenges that children face in building their agency and personhood.
SHEF began its work in 1986 with the goal of providing a high quality education to all children, in the process redefining education to be empowering, contextualized to children’s lives, and focused on achieving high life outcomes. In this way, we go beyond the traditional scope and goals of education, which focus on academic skills and preparation for the labor force. SHEF also prides itself in its culture of care, which forms the bedrock of SHEF’s educational philosophy, pedagogy, and programs. Our critical pedagogy, central to our work, is rooted in this ethic of care. While being guided to critically examine their social realities, children must feel secure in the knowledge that their teachers care about them as persons, and care to understand their lived realities. At SHEF, teachers are more than educators. They are mothers, mentors, counselors, and advocates to their students.
SHEF is situated in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and works across all seventy-five districts in the state. Uttar Pradesh is India’s most populous state, and one of the least socially and economically developed. Deeply embedded patriarchal and casteist mindsets, societal norms, and values, pose significant barriers to girls and children from marginalized communities accessing and completing education. Even when granted access, educational spaces themselves are often not welcoming for such students. SHEF’s work also seeks to address key barriers in educational spaces that block the agency of teachers and students (especially those from marginalized communities) and hinder the transformative process.
