WHAT WE DO
Established in 2008, Educators for Teaching India (EFTI) is a group of secondary school educators dedicated to deepening our own knowledge of India and to exploring India’s role in school curricula. The organization includes teachers in public and private schools as well as educators in supporting academic institutions.

Our purpose is to enhance the role that India plays in curriculum through outreach and education. We have sponsored three conferences:

  • 2009 - “Why Teach India? Exploring India’s Role in Secondary Curricula,”
  • 2010 - “Why Teach India? Caste and its Controversies”
  • 2011 - "Mahatma Gandhi: Beyond the Legend"
