NEW DELHI: To bridge the quality education gap and provide students with tech-based learning solutions, Google.Org today announced grants of USD 8.4 million to four Indian NGOs working to improve education in the country.
Pratham Books StoryWeaver, Pratham Education Foundation, Million Sparks Foundation and Learning Equality are the four NGOs that will receive the grants over the next two years “to expand and scale the work” they have been doing.
“We believe technology can help bridge the gap, it can get more books to students, more lesson plans to teachers, and classrooms to kids who can’t get there themselves,” Nick Cain, Programme Manager at Google.Org, said.
According to the company, the grants will be used to offer languge-oriented learning material, better training and support to teachers, and to support students beyond classroom learning. (AGENCIES)
