Ilm Ideas 2 provides grants to help scale up proven education solutions that:
To help with your application, we recommend that you read the Problem Briefs developed by Ilm
Ideas 2 at http://www.ilmideas2.pk/problem-briefs. Each Problem Brief examines one of the three issues
and provides examples of what has worked in Pakistan and elsewhere to address the problem.
In the second call for proposals in June 2016, Ilm Ideas 2 is especially interested in solutions that
focus on one or more of the following areas:
Access to good quality education for the poorest of the poor and for children living in remote
areas
Education for girls
Education for children with special education needs
Improving the quality of learning and the learning environment
Helping teachers to be more effective in the classroom
Strengthening education management
Ilm Ideas is looking for solutions with the potential to create impact at scale and to become financially
sustainable so that they continue beyond the lifetime of the grant.
Ilm Ideas 2 measures improvements in learning using the ASER test - the test of literacy and numeracy that is
used to prepare the Annual Status of Education Report.
