Role of EdTech in ensuring continued at-home learning - 3 Things

India on Player FM

As part of our ongoing collaboration with the Central Square Foundation - we bring to you the second part of this five part series where we will speak to experts in the field of EdTech to understand, how access to educational technology solutions can transform learning in the classroom and aid in shaping the overall learning and development of a child in school and at-home.
Findings from a recent household-level survey conducted across families from low-income settings by Central Square Foundation, showed that EdTech reach in rural households was at 85 per cent, with nearly one-third of the households having access to ONE smartphone. Growing smartphone penetration, and India's position as the largest mobile data consumer in the world, make it an ideal ground for using technology to support learning.
In this episode, Niharika Nanda will be in conversation with Gouri Gupta, Project Director for EdTech at CSF, Sashwati Banerjee, the Founder of Top Parent and Priyanka Aggarwal, a parent from Haridwar, Uttarakhand who has been using EdTech for over two years to support her child's learning at home.
Hosted and produced by Niharika Nanda
