Education reform is incomplete without the voices of those in classrooms. Teachers share that it is time to centre their experiences in shaping education policy.

When pedagogy reflects real contexts of students, learning becomes meaningful and lasting. Listening to teachers, we found that they are already innovating. We need to recognise, support and learn from them.

At the LFE–NIAS Research Symposium, Dream a Dream hosted an Exploration Circle masterclass on ‘Re-examining the Purpose of Education in an Age of Polarisation, Metrics, and Moral Uncertainty’. In a participatory and reflective space, practitioners, researchers and system actors from varied contexts explored tensions that many of us hold while working within education systems: between analysis and intuition, facts and truth, equality in theory and humanity in practice.

The conversations were a reminder that education systems are living ecosystems, shaped by people, relationships, and the questions we choose to ask.

This masterclass was facilitated by with co-holding the space.

We would like to thank  and for inviting us to hold this space. A big shout to all the participants who showed up with curiosity, openness, and care.

Classroom learning is shaped by realities beyond the classroom.

Teachers shared how gender norms, language hierarchies, and socio-economic challenges influence learning and how they navigate these complexities to create more inclusive classrooms.

SPARKS India Report

One of the most powerful themes that emerged from teachers was the role of care as pedagogy.

Care builds trust.
Trust builds belonging.
And belonging creates the conditions for learning.

To better support the relational work that teachers are doing, we recommend investing in teacher wellbeing, celebrating stories of care in classrooms, and integrating relational pedagogies into teacher education and professional learning.

Dream a Dream, in collaboration with the (Strengthening Pedagogical Approaches for Relevant Knowledge and Skills) project at the Centre for Universal Education at (USA) present the Sparks India Report (scan the QR code in the last slide to read it).

SPARKS is a three-country research initiative in Egypt, Mexico, and India that explores how Invisible Pedagogical Mindsets (IPMs)- the deeply held beliefs, values, and assumptions about teaching and learning- influence classroom practice and the success (or limits) of reform efforts.

In India, this research was conducted across Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Telangana, and Goa, engaging teachers and education stakeholders to understand how policies translate into everyday practice. A powerful insight emerged that meaningful reform does not begin with policy documents, but with teachers’ moral, relational, and contextual commitments inside classrooms.
