The Quality, Education and Skills (QUEST) Alliance uses creative technology tools to improve the quality of primary and secondary education in India. Over the past decade, India has made laudable progress toward its goal of achieving universal education for children ages six to ten by 2010. However, significant challenges remain. An estimated 35 million of the poorest and most vulnerable youth have not received a basic education. These are children from very remote areas, from urban poor or migrating families, who are exploited as laborers or who have disabilities. QUEST will help reach these children and youth. By expanding its Alliance into a nationwide network of educators, policymakers, corporate and NGO leaders, and donors, QUEST will identify and implement innovations in information and communications technology for education and workforce development, particularly for the most vulnerable.
