What is Niiv Fellowship?
Niiv Fellowship is an intensive, year-long, cohort-based learning opportunity for teachers working at the grassroot or primary level. The fellows will stay in their jobs and during the fellowship will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and tools to transform education at the grassroot and primary level.
Delivered online, the fellows will become part of a lively community post the fellowship period.
Why did Niiv decide to offer the fellowship?
Based on our work with thousands of teachers across the nation, we came across a lot of motivated Teachers and we at Niiv decided to equip the teachers working with marginal students and primary school students with an opportunity to learn from the award-winning teachers and make their classrooms citadels of learning and future India.
Niiv fellowship has been designed for educators working at the grassroot level and/or at the primary level.
