The Journal of GovernanceSummary: This paper emphasises the significant role played by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in advancing education on a global scale, particularly for the disadvantaged children and the education-skill connectivities. Since their emergence in the 19th century, CSOs have been pivotal in advocating for education reform, providing educational opportunities to marginalized populations, and promoting equitable access to quality education. The paper underscores the necessity of recognizing the contribution of voluntary organizations while establishing meaningful connections between the government and civil society to ensure universal elementary education and uphold child rights. Additionally, the paper proposes the utilization of non-formal education and alternative modes of education to cater to the needs of over 35 million children. By examining the historical and contemporary functions of CSOs in education, the paper sheds light on the challenges they encounter in promoting education in the overall context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), quality education being No. 4, to which the Government of India and the CSOs alike are committed. The Prayas JAC (Juvenile Aid Centre) Education model is presented as an illustrative example regarding the participation of CSOs in certain areas of education alongside other services for the children and marginalized sections of society. – Reproduced
