A comprehensive impact assessment led by FSG has provided compelling evidence on the effectiveness of experiential learning in early-grade education. Conducted across eight Indian cities, the study assessed 134 affordable private schools (APSs), including 9 schools partnered with Vikalp India, a pioneer in hands-on, activity-based education.

The study focused on Senior Kindergarten (Sr. KG) math competencies, comparing the performance of students using Vikalp's experiential learning tools with those in schools following conventional blackboard-based methods. Of the 134 classrooms assessed, 106 were PIPE APSs (those integrating experiential approaches like Vikalp), while 28 served as the control group using traditional teaching.

In total, the study evaluated 804 Sr. KG students, and collected feedback from 670 parents, 134 teachers, and 134 school administrators—offering a holistic view of student performance, classroom engagement, and teaching effectiveness.
