Building a New Era of Accessible Education

What is the best way to empower a child to make a better future? Education.
This notion has been repeatedly reinforced by everyone from the media to the government through initiatives like the Right to Education Act, and rightfully so. Quality education has a drastic effect on the chances of a positive future. However, this solution is not accessible to millions of kids across India. This has rippling consequences, which can permanently alter the lives of entire communities, as this lack of quality education can directly translate to a lack of growth opportunities.
Digital Learning Tools are Becoming a Necessity
Knowledge is the foundation of progress. For many children, this foundation is often shaky. Substandard economic conditions, lack of resources like well-equipped schools, undertrained teachers, and lack of guidance in learning, among other reasons, have become significant challenges for a child to learn and grow properly. This could cause children to lose interest in education, become less curious, and fall behind compared to their peers.
The good news is that this situation is changing. With advances in digital learning tools, it is becoming easier to make learning more inclusive and accessible. As technology advances, better teaching tools can enter the market. However, there should be a focus on making them affordable to ensure they can reach everyone. For instance, Sampark Foundation’s six innovations are cost-friendly and easy-to-operate tools that make teaching and learning easier, creating better classrooms that equip students with the proper knowledge and attitude for life.
Imagine a classroom with traditional learning tools, and now envision one equipped with digital tools. The second classroom provides a more dynamic experience. Digital tools like interactive apps like Sampark Foundation’s Smart TVs and gamified learning resources like Sampark Didi ke Sawaal encourage active interaction. This enables children to explore concepts that resonate with their learning styles and significantly boost their self-confidence and academic progress.
Our Action for Change
We aim to transform learning across classrooms with innovative digital solutions. Our innovations have reached over 1.3 lakh schools and 1.5 crore kids across India. This cost-efficient model requires minimal resources, making them a tool for favourable change among governments and NGOs, from tools like Sampark TV, a smart TV with preloaded educational content. The Smartshala App is another one of our digital tools, providing lesson plans, videos, and question banks based on SCERT textbooks. Sampark Didi ke Sawaal and the AI-Driven Speak English Program are a few of our other digital tools. Together, these helped 76% of schools we approached teach according to the state-approved plan, ensuring these kids are on par with their other counterparts.
Conclusion
We believe that in today’s era, digital learning tools are becoming essential for unlocking the full potential of both teachers and students. They bridge the gap in quality education in an accessible and adaptable way, empowering educators and children. By making these tools widely accessible, we can equip future generations with the best skills for a brighter future, one classroom at a time.
