Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
Our Story
In 2019, we started supporting Vishwa Kala Niketan Model English School (a Government-aided school in Bangalore) by providing in-house trained teachers for subjects of STEM. However, when the COVID pandemic broke out, the school management requested us to equip the teachers with the necessary tools for online classes.
Education in the Digital Divide Era: Struggles and Solutions
The senior teachers were finding it difficult to acquaint themselves with the virtual medium. While some managed to take online classes, others found it challenging. Engagement from the students’ side became poor as those from weaker economic backgrounds had just one phone in the family. Few also lacked access to student materials.
Bringing Learning to Life: SSLC Connect
We believed an APP would be able to address the above concerns. Thus, SSLC Connect was created to serve the needs of all students of the State Syllabus in the English medium. Six main subjects – Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, English, Hindi and Kannada languages are covered.
