HOLE-IN-THE-WALL EDUCATION

Hole-in-the-Wall Education is a learning methodology and non-profit organization founded by Dr. Sugata Mitra. It is focused on improving elementary education and life skills of children across the world, especially those in disadvantaged communities, rural areas, and urban slums. Formally called Minimally Invasive Education, this innovative methodology was first tested in a slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi, in 1999. The experiment was replicated in two other rural sites in the same year. The firs... t adopter of the idea was the Government of NCT of Delhi. In 2000, the Government of Delhi set up 30 Learning Stations in a resettlement colony. In 2004, the Hole-in-the-Wall Education program reached Cambodia through the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. With the formation of Hole-in-the-Wall Education in 2001, a national research program was started, in which learning stations were set up in 23 locations across rural India. Hole-in-the-Wall Education is a subsidiary of NIIT Limited. It is based in New Delhi, India.
