A survey among school children of 9 states

The Teaching Learning Practice Survey (TLPS) 2025 was conducted by the Language and Learning Foundation (LLF) in 9 states of the country. The survey was conducted to study teaching and learning practices in first and second grade classrooms in nine states. 1,050 classrooms were included in the survey. The survey focuses on teaching language and mathematics.

Two-thirds of children are quiet in the classroom.

According to the survey report, children in the early grades often spend most of their time listening rather than speaking or speaking. According to the report, children have fewer opportunities to participate in discussions, ask questions or learn from their classmates. According to the report, in nearly two-thirds of classrooms, children are mostly silent and have little opportunity to speak openly, interact with the teacher, or learn from their peers.

The teacher asks a question

The report underlined that more than half of classroom teachers ask questions to the whole class simultaneously while teaching. To which the children answer in unison. According to the report, its disadvantage is that it becomes difficult for teachers to know whether children have understood what has been taught. According to the report, very few teachers use different methods to test each child’s understanding.

27 percent of class time is spent without studying

The Teaching Learning Practices Survey (TLPS) 2025 report shows that children spend 27 percent of classroom time studying. According to the report, children spend 32 percent of the allotted time in the classroom listening to or watching the teacher or another child reading or copying from the blackboard. In addition, 17 percent of time is spent collectively repeating or responding together.

Learning needs to be made interactive

The Teaching Learning Practice Survey (TLPS) 2025 report shows that education systems need to make early learning more interactive, so that children have more opportunities to speak, participate in activities and learn from each other.
