Case Study: Pratham delivers personalized student feedback with Claude

How Pratham delivers personalized assessment feedback to thousands of students across India with Claude

Pratham International, one of the world's largest education nonprofits, faced a significant challenge in scaling personalized feedback for thousands of students across India. They lacked the resources to manually grade practice exams, a critical need for their Second Chance program helping women who dropped out of school to earn their credentials. This created a major bottleneck for student improvement.

By implementing the Claude Platform, Pratham built an automated assessment system called the Anytime Testing Machine. Claude digitizes, grades, and generates personalized, multilingual feedback for handwritten answers. This solution, developed through iterative prompt engineering with Anthropic, increased grading accuracy from 30% to 80% and achieved 90% accuracy in generating curriculum-aligned questions. The Claude-powered system has completed over 1,500 assessments and is poised to scale to hundreds of thousands of learners.
