Pratham CEO Dr. Rukmini Banerji was awarded the 2021 Yidan Prize for Education Development —the world’s highest education accolade—for her work in improving learning outcomes. The Yidan Prize is an inclusive education award that recognizes individuals or teams who have contributed significantly to the theory and practice of education.

With the support of the Yidan Prize, Dr. Banerji plans to strengthen and expand Pratham’s work with young children so that strong foundations can be built early in a child’s life. This will contribute significantly towards our goal of seeing “every child in school and learning well,” she said.
