The Learning Enhancement and Accessibility Project (LEAP) is a flagship three-year initiative (2023–2026) by NagaEd in collaboration with the Kiphire District Administration and supported by the NITI Aayog’s Aspirational Districts Programme. Designed for the frontier district of Kiphire, Nagaland, LEAP empowers teachers, students, and communities by bridging the digital divide and fostering a culture of learning through high-quality digital content and inclusive, phased implementation.
Community-Driven Design: LEAP’s foundation is the Listening Mission — an in-depth needs assessment involving local voices, ensuring interventions reflect real challenges.
Bridging the Digital Divide: Offline and online access models, 5G routers, and LMS tools ensure equitable content delivery even in remote schools.
High-Quality, Modular Content: Digital courseware for Classes 9 & 10 (Maths & Science) is built with prerequisites, scaffolding, assessments, and interactive features.
Teacher Training & Support: Hands-on training, workshops, and access to NagaEd experts equip educators to confidently use digital tools.
Student-Centric Learning: Digital workshops, LMS orientation, and gamified content spark curiosity and improve learning outcomes.
On-Ground Technical Support: A dedicated coordinator, ticketing system, and regular check-ins ensure real-time problem-solving and progress tracking.
Listening Mission & Needs Assessment
Field visits, surveys, and interviews identified challenges like internet access, student readiness, and digital skills gaps.
