Evidence: not opinions, visible difference

Two kinds of proof: the research behind every page β€” and the proof you build in your own classroom.

OUR ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLECompete with Yourself.

We measure each learner against their own starting point, not another child. Assessments show effort, growing understanding and the next step. Recognising small wins is designed to build intrinsic motivation, grit, determination, equity and inclusion.

QUICK QUESTIONS

Start today. Measure the difference in one chapter.

Can I review all Buddy Books and the complete syllabus?

Yes. You can start by browsing selected Buddy Book samples on this page. To explore the wider collection, join our free 90-minute orientation. Afterward, we provide access to HiPATH chapters so your teachers can choose a chapter already coming up in their timetable and teach it as a Chapter Challenge. Complete books and detailed syllabi are available on request.

Browse books by stage β†—
Do teachers have to change their timetable?

No. They take a chapter they were about to teach anyway. The change is in how children learn, practise and show progress.

How do teachers earn the 10-hour certificate?

The 90-minute orientation itself has no certificate. Teachers earn a free 10-hour external training certificate by completing the Chapter Challenge — teaching and documenting one HiPATH chapter in line with its completion requirements. It counts towards CBSE’s 25 hours of training.

Can principals see progress for individual children?

Chapter assessments and quick checks are designed to show the starting point and subsequent progress for the class and each child, subject to the tools available in the chosen programme.

What does the school receive beyond books?

Teaching resources and training are central to the approach. Assessments, printed companions, in-person support and AI tools vary by plan and may also be available as optional extras.

THE REASON WE DO THIS

By educators. For educators. For social change.

A better learning experience for every child β€” grounded in classrooms, supported by evidence and shared for a larger purpose. We are honest and upfront about who we are and where your money goes.

BY EDUCATORS Β· WHO WE ARE

What is GETI?

GETI β€” the Global Education & Training Institute β€” is a research and training institute, not a publisher. It was founded by educators: Dr Sunita Gandhi (PhD, Cambridge; former World Bank economist), Chief Academic Advisor of City Montessori School, Lucknow β€” the world's largest school. HiPATH grew out of those classrooms and two decades of research.

FOR EDUCATORS Β· WHY THESE TOOLS

Transformation, not just books.

Classrooms need transformation, and teachers can't do it with a textbook alone. So educators built these tools for educators β€” Buddy Books, year-long training, the Chapter Challenge and data every day β€” so that every teacher can transform their own classroom.

FOR SOCIAL CHANGE Β· WHERE THE MONEY GOES

Every penny goes to DEVI Sansthan.

Nothing earned here builds a corporate corpus. Every penny of revenue goes to DEVI Sansthan, an NGO working since 1992 for universal literacy. For you, what changes is only the books β€” and each child's school bag you switch helps ten more children in government schools learn to read and count.

Why take the Chapter Challenge?

We say one chapter can change how every child learns β€” starting tomorrow. The Chapter Challenge lets your teachers test that in their own classrooms, instead of leafing through sample books.

We are not publishers.HiPATH comes from a research and training institute. Our Buddy Books are research-based programmes β€” solutions to improve education, not just products.
The chapter you would teach anywayNo timetable changes. No other changes. Your teachers simply teach the same chapter in a different way.
Real reactions, not a review copyTeachers understand HiPATH fully by doing it β€” and you see how they respond, far better than handing out books to review.
