Problem

Quality education and Low learning levels : There is a wide disparity in the quality of education in small towns and villages as compared to metropolitans. Year after year there are studies done which show very poor learning levels in school children going to public schools across India. A grade 8 child in a public school is barely at a level if a 5th grader. Almost all the solutions that are present in the market are aimed at school children studying in private schools.

Solution

We define Innovation as something which can improve lives of the people at the lower end of the pyramid, a solution that can be implemented with the current challenges of infrastructure, cost etc. iScuela our solution address the problem of low learning levels, its an ecosystem that is an aid for teachers for in-class teaching and also provides a platform for self learning for children. The entire system runs on existing hardware in schools and also capable of running on low cost android phones.

Target Beneficiaries

Our aim is to make quality education accessible for all school going children in the k-10 segment. Along with the children we also focus on assisting teachers with multimedia tools so that they can enrich the in classroom learning experience.

Mission and Vision

The ultimate aim of this product is to make children, ready for, what now is being referred to as the 4th Industrial revolution. iScuela: - is prepared with current school system in mind - is localised - aims to engage the child with the content - promotes self learning - is free for the end user which are primarily the students & teachers in the rural communities - can be used on a low cost tablet, PC or a projector - can aid teachers in teaching better without being overawed by technology

Competitive Advantage

iScuela is the only solution in India currently which is in 3 languages and is installed in more than 6000 schools across 5 states. Further more we would complete installation in all the 19000 school in state of Punjab by end 2019, making us the largest multilingual elearning platform covering in class room and self learning. Currently almost all the major players in India are only focussing on private school children studying in English. The price at which these products are offered can only be afforded by the people in the upper middle class strata of the society. Our project in Punjab is being offered to all the public schools and their students for free making our offering truly accessible to all. We have been working in a multi-stakeholder setting to make this possible.

Planned Goals and Milestones

Post the execution of the project in Punjab, we would have completed & showcased with the help of usage data, quantifiable impact. Post which we would like to present the template in as many forums & replicate the same in multiple similar demographies. Our vision is that the next round of digitisation we should be able bring access to 3D printers and technologies like Augmented reality to public school students and not make them wait until they are the last to get exposed to these technologies.
