Bharat EdTech Initiative
The COVID-19 pandemic closed 1.5 million schools and adversely affected the education of 247 million children in India.
Studies suggest only one in four students have access to digital learning and almost 10 million girls in secondary school are projected to dropout post COVID-19.
The problem
COVID-19 has widened the existing gap in student learning, especially with the economically underprivileged unable to benefit from EdTech solutions. There is a learning backlog, low attendance, and teachers are having to quickly learnt new methods of teaching.
The solution
Enhancing learning outcomes for first-generation digital learners by enabling children from rural and marginalised communities to access online education and use the apps in an optimum manner.
