Project Assistant - Education

India is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world. Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) plays a critical role in improving learning outcomes, strengthening cognitive development and preserving India's rich linguistic and cultural heritage. In 2025, UNESCO New Delhi developed the State of Education Report for India (SOER 2025) on Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education. Following the release of the national report, UNESCO will organize state-level dissemination and launch events to promote dialogue, policy uptake, and stakeholder engagement at sub-national levels. UNESCO will also develop state-specific project proposals to further the engagement of MTB-MLE. To support the effective organization of the SOER 2025 state launches and the development of state-specific project proposals and to provide programme implementation, administrative, and logistical support to follow-up actions related to SOER 2025, the UNESCO Regional Office for South Asia will engage a Project Assistant on Service Contract for 6 months.
