Happy Teachers and the Making of My Good School
Kunal Rajpurohit, a student at The Fabindia School, is now the Projects Manager at the Learning Forward India Foundation. In the photo, you’ll find a heartwarming story of a teacher and a student at the same level, each taking a step forward together. It’s a beautiful tale of horizontal learning and building strong relationships.
The My Good School Program, at the heart of The Fabindia School’s learning journey in Bali and Rajasthan, is a wonderful example of how schools can transform. When we focus on teacher development, amazing things happen! #HappyTeacher
From one My Good School to the Good Schools Alliance and now The Literacy Project for Educators, powered by the Learning Forward India Foundation, to equip teachers with essential life skills that extend beyond textbooks—helping them grow both professionally and personally.
Centred around the idea of “Happy Teachers,” the project emphasises empowering educators with practical knowledge in areas that affect daily life, including:
- Financial Literacy
- Food Literacy
- Emerging Literacies such as AI and more

Transform Life Chances For Every Child We Reach
When a school shifts, a child’s entire world shifts.
I’m Sandeep Dutt, and at the Good Schools Alliance, we’re now collaborating with over 50 schools that are eager to learn and grow together.
Through My Good School, we organise Sunday reading sessions and The Teachers Academy, helping schools weave reading, reflection and relationships into their weekly schedule. This means that every week, children get to read, share and reflect with their peers and teachers across the Alliance.
In just one year, 17 schools and 8 programme partners joined forces under the Alliance—ranging from reading and life-skills groups to wellbeing and teacher-development partners. This means that a single donor’s support is multiplied across dozens of campuses, hundreds of teachers and thousands of children each year.
Our member schools contribute an annual subscription, and philanthropic support enables us to subsidise programmes for our Special Projects that might not be able to afford this on their own—especially those with low fees and in rural areas. Your funding helps us expand retreats, reading programmes, and special projects in financial literacy, health and girls’ empowerment.
If you believe every child deserves a good school, please partner with us—either as a donor or a funding agency—so that together, we can take the Good Schools Alliance from dozens of schools to hundreds, and transform life chances for every child we reach.
