Govt schools in Bihar test grouping children by level of learning instead of age for improving outcomes

Jehanabad (Bihar): It's just after breakfast and barefoot children trickle into the classroom. Brightly coloured posters adorn the white walls-the solar system, a counting and phonetic chart, parts of the body, and a portrait of a radiant B.R. Ambedkar, a builder of modern India.

It looks like any other government school classroom. But these 30-odd children are not all of the same grade or even age-they range from 10-year olds to some in their late teens. What is common among them is that they are all at roughly the same level of learning.

The children sit on gunny sacks-no desks here-and hurriedly unpack their bags. The teacher takes the attendance, and then begins to read out a story in Hindi-today it's The Monkey and the Elephant. The students move their index fingers in tandem with the rhythm of the teacher's speech. After finishing, the teacher asks if anyone would like to come up to the front of the class and read in exactly the same way. The exercise never fails to excite them, and one by one they come up and try to mimic the teacher's reading. The rest of the class keeps their eyes peeled for the teacher's reaction, so they know who is the best.
