It was a special day for the girls of the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Andhra Pradesh Backward Classes Welfare Educational Institutions Society (MJPAPBCWREIS) residential school in Kothavalasa, who found themselves hosting an unexpected visitor on Wednesday (November 26, 2025).


Sir David Beckham, former England football captain and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, walked into their classrooms to watch Project-Based Learning (PBL) in motion. His arrival has put the spotlight on a school that has been reshaping how children learn through a partnership between Mantra4Change and Education Above All. The initiative is a part of a wider programme of the Mantra4Change supported by Education Above All aimed at improving classrooms across Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha and Nagaland.
