What is the core shift in India’s education challenge according to TEA 3.0 between 1990 to 2025?
The challenge has shifted from access to schools to access to learning-ready schools.
What is the purpose of the Pyramid Principle in communication?
To make communication clear, persuasive, and efficient by prioritising the main conclusion at the outset.
What are the key differences between L1 and L2 schools?
L2 has structural & access conditions required for consistent teaching-learning to happen
On what basis does TEA classify work across different pillars (SP1, SP2, SP3)?
Level of agency + Nature of partnerships
A state improves teacher training and monitoring but sees no sustained learning gains.
Which TEA 3.0 idea explains this?
Instructional reform cannot reliably succeed in structurally deficient institutions
A team has many ideas but cannot decide what to prioritise.
Which tool should they use?
MoSCoW prioritisation : Must-have, Should-have, Could-have, and Won't-have

L1 to L2
A program works with government schools where TEA improves staffing and instructional systems but does not redesign the school network or fully control operations.
Which strategic pillar does this fall under?
SP2 (System Partnerships)
Why is the statement “India has a teacher shortage problem” an incomplete diagnosis?
A team accepts an initial explanation of a problem without questioning assumptions and builds a solution on top of it, that fail.
What did they not do before before designing the solution?
First-principles thinking
Test assumptions
Weak problem diagnosis
Tell atleast 2 things that make the School chalein hum video work against our strategy?
- Schools are not learning ready
- Access conditions are sub-optimal
A SP2 program succeeds when TEA controls all variables but fails when scaled in government systems. What is the mistake?
Applying SP1 (high agency) approach in SP2 context
Failure to adapt to lower agency conditions
A government proposes hiring 1 lakh new teachers to bring PTR to 1:25 as the primary reform strategy.
Using TEA 3.0 lens - evaluate the relevance of this decision
- Incomplete / flawed
- Problem is structural (distribution, school size), not absolute shortage
- Without restructuring school system, impact will be limited
A team sets multiple ambitious output OKRs but struggles to achieve any of them.
Evaluate this approach, what is the problem?
An experiential school has 300 students, 10 classrooms, 10 teachers, and a ₹20 lakh budget.
Should the school invest in experiential learning programs or strengthening institutional capacity? Why?
Institutional capacity
100% students graduating from Schools of Specialized Excellence (PVA, Humanities and HE21) pursue their desired Higher education pathway in their identified domain : Re-craft this KR in 3.0 context & classify under appropriate SP
Check for
• program is clearly mapped to LRS
• problem is structurally defined
• pillar and agency are correctly identified
SP2
