THE CHALLENGE
An Education Crisis
Learning poverty is endemic in many parts of the developing world and is one of the most significant indicators of global inequity, gender-based violence and poor economic growth.
Using an analytical tool developed jointly with The World Bank and UNESCO’s Institute of Statistics, it was determined that ’53 percent of children in low and middle-income countries cannot read and understand a simple story by the end of primary school. In poor countries, the level is as high as 80 percent. Such high levels of illiteracy are an early warning sign that all global educational goals and other related sustainable development goals are in jeopardy.
Progress in reducing learning poverty is far too slow to meet the aspirations of the SDG: at the current rate of improvement, in 2030 about 43% of children will still be learning-poor.’
~ The World Bank, 2021
Let’s break through a legacy of substandard education by revolutionizing access.
PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH ACCESS TO WORLD-CLASS EDUCATION THROUGH AN OFFLINE EDUTECH DEVICE.
The EdTech Device
WORLD-CLASS EDUCATION
KHAN ACADEMY LIBRARY AND MORE
Our EduTech device comes preinstalled with the world-renowned Khan Academy and other excellent educational resources across all subject areas for K-12 students and educators.
BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
NO INTERNET REQUIRED
Up to 10 users can connect to and learn from a single EduTech device via a WiFi network that the device itself generates, without needing an internet connection. Users can connect from a desktop, laptop, tablet, or even a mobile phone.
SCALING FOR GREATER IMPACT
LEVERAGING EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE
Our current strategy is to deploy the EduTech device in schools with existing computer labs. Leveraging these computer labs enables us to scale our work, reach more schools and students, and have a greater impact.
