Since August 2023, Pratham and Community Jameel have been working together to help girls and women who dropped out of school complete Grade 10, opening pathways to further education, skills training and livelihood opportunities.
The Pratham-Jameel Second Chance program aims to double the scale of the program by reaching 10,000 young girls and women across India each year. Each cohort is enrolled for a year, during which they receive academic support to prepare for and take their Grade 10 examinations. In the 2024-2025 academic year, 17,339 girls and women enrolled in the program. Of these, over 9,779 appeared for the exams, and more than 7,000 successfully completed Grade 10.
