The partnership with CBSE also underscores Meta’s commitment to India and reflects the joint ambition to universalize STEM education by ensuring that students across India have equitable access to quality educational content which will prepare them for the Future of Work in a digitally-powered economy. The partnership will also aim to empower educators with new-age tools and skills needed to nurture the Generation Z and Generation Alpha students into responsible digital citizens.

CBSE will aim to empower students in the under-served regions of India through its community skill centers making these new-age skills available to the youth and helping them become creators in the digital economy through equitable access to resources.
Speaking on the collaboration, Dr.Biswajit Saha, Director (Skills Education and Trainings), CBSE, said, “The pandemic has impacted lives all around. The learning process has undergone an unforeseen shift. This drastic change has brought along a wall of challenges in facilitating the process of learning. With the assistance of Meta, we hope to build on our online teaching and curriculum capabilities and make them available to students across the country. The response to
the first phase of the program was encouraging and has encouraged us to expand the scope of this partnership. This partnership will help equip our teachers with the requisite skills to effectively use online tools for student engagement. Understanding that the era of ‘Digital India’ has begun, we aim to build responsible digital citizens with the introduction of Digital Citizenship and Augmented Reality in the curriculum, along with providing quality educational content for all “
