Founded just over a year ago in May 2012, 3.2.1. Education Foundation is an organization that is working on creating something different in the Indian school system. The process is through lab schools that focus on research and development as an effort to expand the practice itself. Founder Gaurav Singh is a 2013 Echoing Green Fellow.
"1991 Fellow Wendy Kopp's inspirational idea is the reason why many bright youngsters around the world are entering the education field and then staying on to have incredible impact. Through my Teach for India journey I discovered my life's calling," he told Echoing Green for the promotional material for the announcement of the Echoing Green Fellowships. Singh finished his fellowship for Teach for India (TFI) in 2011.
