ITA's WSIP focuses on revitalizing under-performing public schools through Public Private Partnerships with a vision “Regenerating Schools - Regenerating Communities”, or connecting communities with schools and vice versa in a healthy relationship of mutual learning. The very idea is to encourage specific linkages between the public and private sectors enabling transformation of dysfunctional government schools into viable, self sustained and quality driven education sites. It is also an endeavor to find willing custodians ('waris') amongst the community for fully owning and defending the transformation for sustainability.
