learning and pays its own way over time, whether it is set up as a non-profit, a company or a hybrid of the two; the models that last are the ones where the legal form, the source of money and the way results are measured all match the problem.<\/strong> Passion starts these organisations. Structure keeps them open.<\/p>\n<p>This guide is written for readers in India first, but most of it applies anywhere. It compares the three models, what Indian law says about each, how founders raise money and recruit people, and how to measure results. It is not legal or tax advice; the official office for your state or country has the final word.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"njg-toc\">\n<p>In this article<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#what-social-entrepreneurship-in-education-means\">What social entrepreneurship in education means<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#the-problem-out-of-school-and-not-learning\">The problem: children out of school, and children not learning<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#non-profit-for-profit-or-hybrid\">Non-profit, for-profit or hybrid: three models compared<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#what-indian-law-says\">What Indian law says: Section 8, Startup India, RTE<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-social-entrepreneurs-in-education-raise-money\">How social entrepreneurs in education raise money<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#building-a-team\">Building a team when you cannot pay market salaries<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#measuring-impact\">Measuring impact without fooling yourself<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#examples-of-models-that-last\">Examples: six patterns that last<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#questions-and-answers\">Questions and answers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-social-entrepreneurship-in-education-means\">What social entrepreneurship in education means<\/h2>\n<p>There is no single legal definition of a social entrepreneur. Even India&#8217;s CSR framework does not define the word &#8220;NGO&#8221;, as the Minister of State for Corporate Affairs told the Lok Sabha in 2021. In everyday use, social entrepreneurs in education start something new to fix a gap in learning: a school for children the system misses, a reading programme, teacher training, a learning centre in a village.<\/p>\n<p>Three things separate a social enterprise from a charity project or from an ordinary tuition business:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"njg-check\">\n<li><strong>A named problem and a named group.<\/strong> &#8220;Improving education&#8221; is not a problem. &#8220;Children aged 10 to 14 in one district who have stopped attending school&#8221; is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A plan to keep going.<\/strong> The work does not stop when one grant ends. Money comes from fees, contracts, donations or a mix, and the mix is designed, not accidental.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Results that are checked.<\/strong> The founder decides before starting what success will look like and how it will be counted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Is it a career or a cause? Both. The skills overlap with education leadership jobs: leading a team, hiring well, managing money and earning parents&#8217; trust.

It also says plainly that the old rules have often &#8220;inadvertently discouraged public-spirited private\/philanthropic schools&#8221;, and promises to make school requirements less restrictive so that non-governmental philanthropic organisations can build schools and &#8220;alternative models of education&#8221; can be tried.

This article stays at the level of choosing a model.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-indian-law-says\">What Indian law says: Section 8, Startup India, RTE<\/h2>\n<h3>Section 8 company (Companies Act, 2013)<\/h3>\n<p>Section 8(1) allows the Central Government to license a company that has in its objects &#8220;the promotion of commerce, art, science, sports, education, research, social welfare&#8221;, among other objects, if it intends to apply its profits or other income &#8220;in promoting its objects&#8221; and to prohibit the payment of any dividend to its members. In short: the non-profit form with company-style governance and no dividends.<\/p>\n<h3>Startup India recognition (DPIIT)<\/h3>\n<p>The Startup India portal states that, to be recognised as a startup, an entity should be a private limited company, a partnership firm, a limited liability partnership or a cooperative society, with turnover below INR 200 crore in any previous financial year, and that it counts as a startup for up to 10 years from incorporation. Section 8 companies and trusts are not in that list. A for-profit education company may qualify; a non-profit usually will not. Check the portal for current conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>RTE Act, 2009<\/h3>\n<p>The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act covers children aged six to fourteen. Section 18 says that no school, other than one owned or controlled by the government or a local authority, shall be established or function without a certificate of recognition. Section 12(1)(c) requires specified private unaided schools to admit, in class I, at least 25% of the class from children belonging to weaker sections and disadvantaged groups in the neighbourhood. If your enterprise is legally a school, recognition comes first, whatever your legal form; other formats follow different rules, so ask your state education department in writing. See <a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/school-recognition-under-rte-act\/\">school recognition under the RTE Act<\/a> goes further.<\/p>\n<div class=\"njg-box\">\n<p><strong>A note on &#8220;not for profit&#8221;.<\/strong> The NEP 2020 says all education institutions will be held to similar standards of audit and disclosure as a &#8220;not for profit&#8221; entity, with surpluses reinvested in education. Treat it as a direction of policy, and get advice before designing a structure that relies on taking profit out of a school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"how-social-entrepreneurs-in-education-raise-money\">How social entrepreneurs in education raise money<\/h2>\n<p>Know, before you start, which kind of money suits your model.<\/p>\n<div class=\"njg-tablewrap\">\n<table>\n<thead><tr><th>Source<\/th><th>Suits<\/th><th>What funders usually ask for<\/th><th>Watch out for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Founder&#8217;s own money and co-founders<\/td><td>All models, at the very start<\/td><td>Your commitment<\/td><td>Spending savings on a model you have not tested<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Fees from families<\/td><td>For-profit, hybrid<\/td><td>Visible results, trust, a fair price<\/td><td>Serving only those who can pay<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Contracts with schools or government<\/td><td>All models<\/td><td>Track record, registration, reports<\/td><td>Slow payment; one large client<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Donations and grants<\/td><td>Non-profit, hybrid<\/td><td>Tax registration, audited accounts, clear outcomes<\/td><td>Short grants that fund pilots but not running costs<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>CSR funds from companies<\/td><td>Organisations registered as CSR implementing agencies<\/td><td>CSR-1 registration, project reports<\/td><td>Projects shaped by the funder&#8217;s priorities<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Equity investment<\/td><td>For-profit companies only<\/td><td>Growth plan, team, a route to return<\/td><td>Pressure to grow faster than quality allows<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>On CSR: Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, Schedule VII and the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014 form the framework.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs reported that 17,130 agencies had registered by 31 October 2021, and that about 60% of annual CSR spending went through implementing agencies.<\/p>\n<p>A good sequence: test with your own money and a few committed families, prove one result, then go to donors or investors with numbers.

Investment is optional. As a guideline, compensation is 10% of revenue excluding tax, up to JPY 50 million at JPY 500 million in revenue. It is a guideline, not a promise of income: with no revenue, the formula pays nothing.

It can be a non-profit, a company or a hybrid.<\/p>\n<h3>What are some examples of social entrepreneurship in the education sector?<\/h3>\n<p>Low-fee schools, bridge programmes for out-of-school children, teacher training sold to schools, hybrid online and in-person schools, and cross-subsidy models. See the six patterns above.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a social enterprise in education a non-profit?<\/h3>\n<p>Not necessarily. It can be a trust, society or Section 8 company, or a private limited company that serves a social purpose and earns fees.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a Section 8 company run a school in India?<\/h3>\n<p>Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 names education among the objects such a company may have. Whether it can run a school also depends on the RTE Act&#8217;s recognition rules and on your state&#8217;s rules for school management. Ask your state education department and a lawyer before you register.<\/p>\n<h3>How do social entrepreneurs in education get funding?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually in stages: own money, then fees or contracts that prove the model, then grants, CSR funds or investment, depending on the legal form.<\/p>\n<h3>Is leading NIJIN Academy India a job or a business?<\/h3>\n<p>It is closer to founding a business. The Country Head is both business head and principal, and can start as a co-owner of a local company or on a service contract. Compensation is a guideline of 10% of revenue, not a fixed salary, and income is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to be a teacher to become a social entrepreneur in education?<\/h3>\n<p>No. What matters is leading people, hiring well, managing money and earning families&#8217; trust. NIJIN does not require teaching experience for its Country Head roles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"njg-cta\">\n<h2 id=\"start-nijin-academy-india\">Build a school that lasts, with a model that already runs<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to start a company in India and solve a problem in education, NIJIN is looking for one founder to lead NIJIN Academy India as business head and principal.
