Quality Education Support Trust (QUEST) is an NGO registered in 2007 with the motivation to pursue quality related issues in Early Childhood Education, elementary education and teacher professional development, primarily through action-research in pedagogy. QUEST has designed various programs for tribal and rural schools, teachers and teacher educators. The idea of QUEST took shape in an informal group of education enthusiasts called the 'Thane Study Circle' and now runs different education programs in government schools across 24 districts in Maharashtra.
