Speaking at the event, Mr. Anvar Sadath, Executive Director and Vice Chairman, KITE said, “We have been working with Khan Academy for almost a year now. This partnership strengthens our Hi-Tech Schools program and we believe this would help our teachers to personalise learning for the students. Beginning with a close intervention this year in 22 schools, we are planning to scale it to all the 4775 schools in the state. We are supporting the schools by providing the necessary infrastructure and training. We look forward to iterating from this intervention and taking it forward.”

Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has already deployed Laptops, Projectors, other ICT equipment and broadband connectivity to schools as part of its Hi-Tech school project. Simultaneously, it is developing a resource portal called Samagra, with online educational content and resources for teachers. Khan Academy’s resources would be linked to Samagra. In 2018-19, KITE would be conducting subject-specific training to all 1 lakh-plus teachers across the state in utilising the resources available on Samagra and on Khan Academy. For the first year, KITE is actively enhancing the ICT infrastructure in 20 schools to support personalised learning.

On Khan Academy, each student progresses through unlimited quizzes and questions at just the right level for them. They get immediate feedback as they learn and, when appropriate, learning interventions are  provided at the exact moment the student needs them. Teachers can track progress, identify gaps in learning, and use data to help individual students as well as shape classroom discussion. The partners intend to gather learnings from this intervention to inform the rollout across the rest of the schools.

On behalf of Khan Academy India, Mr. Sandeep Bapna, Managing Director said “We are humbled by the ambitious vision of the state of Kerala to cover all its schools over a period of 5 years. At Khan Academy, we have been focusing on making technology both easier and more powerful to improve learning outcomes. We are working with several states and school partners to enable readiness, training and adoption of Khan Academy resources in their classrooms. ”
