Wipro Applying Thought in Schools is Wipro’s social initiative working on building capacities in school education reform in India. Bringing about this educational reform requires deliberate, long term and sustained work in the larger education system and civil society organizations have an important role to play in this. Our strategy is to support civil society organizations engaged in school education to develop their capacities to work towards this education reform in a systemic manner.

We have partnered with over 101 organizations in different areas of systemic reform. Over the past 17 years, our work has spanned 163 projects and initiatives with a collective reach of close to 20,000 schools across 29 states. Also continued to build momentum of identifying and supporting new and young start-ups in school education through a structured program of seeding fellowships. 29 Fellows from 17 organizations were added during the year taking the total number of ‘Fellows’ to 60.

Wipro-earthian is Wipro’s Sustainability Education Initiative which seeks to support and drive sustainability thinking and action through the learning process in school and colleges across India.

This initiative covers two programs – Wipro earthian Awards and the Continuous Engagement Program (CEP) program. The awards program aims at providing school and college students exposure to multiple perspectives on biodiversity and water. The CEP is intended to promote integrated sustainability education in schools and colleges and to co-create educational practices within institutions that leads to sustainability action and thinking. We have continues partnered with Xavier University, Bhubaneshwar and signed MOU’s with leading institutes to develop sustainability pedagogy tools for faculty across various disciplines/subjects - CEPT, Ahmedabad(Urban Planning), IIM Ahmedabad (Sustainability Business Case study development) and ICT, Mumbai (Chemical Engineering).

The Wipro Science Education Fellowship (SEF) started in U.S.A in 2013 with a focus on improving STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) learning in schools serving disadvantaged communities. This initiative is aligned with the US federal government’s priority on improving science and math education in their school system. Wipro’s commitment of about USD 9 million since 2013 is one of the largest such commitments made by a company outside U.S.A to this cause.

Anchored by the COSMIC center in the University of Massachusetts, the program has been widely accepted in U.S.A as an important initiative in this space. We added three new sites at Tampa, Florida, Jefferson City, Missouri and Mountain View, Santa Clara. We established three new partnerships for these sites with the University of Southern California, University of Missouri and Stanford University respectively. With this, the Wipro-SEF program is active in seven locations in the U.S, including the existing sites at Boston, New York, New Jersey and Dallas.

Drawing from our success in the US, we have started a similar initiative in United Kingdom (UK). The goal is to develop improved teaching and leadership capacities of STEM teachers of state schools in the UK. We have identified and selected two partners to work with Kings College, London and Sheffield Hallam University. Our partnership with Kings College is develop UK’s first MA program in STEM education. Our second partnership with Sheffield Hallam University is a 18 month program that will help build capacities of early career STEM teachers and STEM teacher-mentors.
