In a major move to accelerate the achievement of Nipun Bharat’s aims in the state, the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education and Secondary Education Departments have signed a non-financial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EMBIBE, an AI-powered learning platform. This collaboration seeks to improve classroom teaching, student learning, and overall learning outcomes in Science, Maths, and Social Science across more than 55,000 schools in Uttar Pradesh.
The Uttar Pradesh Government has made significant investments to install 40,000 Smart Classrooms in Upper Primary schools, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Labs at 880 blocks within Block Resource Centers (BRCs), and distributing 2,09,863 tablets to each primary school (2 per school). All of these investments aim to create better educational opportunities for students and to make learning more accessible and engaging.
This MoU between the two entities will deliver digital content that is aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) guidelines. The AI-led classroom content from EMBIBE will be used to power smart classrooms and will be accessible in Hindi. The platform will also provide unprecedented tracking of lesson effectiveness and personalised learning that is tailored to each student’s needs. Augmented Reality for the masses is also available without expensive infrastructure investments. Virtual experiments are included to foster the pedagogy of “learning by doing”.
Aditi Avasthi, Founder & CEO of EMBIBE, commented on the collaboration: “Building an edtech platform and content capable enough to help realise the scale of the UP Government’s vision of Nipun Bharat has been a personal lifelong dream and possible only through 11 years of unwavering commitment. We are grateful for the opportunity and committed to the success of this partnership. We are also very excited to collaborate with the dedicated and able teams at the Department of Basic Education and the Department of Madhyamik Shiksha, who have worked tirelessly on the ground thus far.”
This agreement with the Uttar Pradesh government expands EMBIBE’s impact to 104,464 schools in 25 states across India, including 596,250 instructors and 17,097,362 students. The platform is equipped with AI-led technology to measure engagement and its Knowledge Graph to track and remediate student learning outcomes at scale. Teachers and students will benefit from self-learning apps, which include state-of-the-art technology that even works on low bandwidth.
EMBIBE is dedicated to providing students with the highest quality digital education and is helping teachers to foster a “no regrets future for every child”. Teachers can now employ strong algorithms and material libraries to assign personalised homework to each child at the touch of a button. With five awarded patents, the platform is revolutionising the way teachers are able to deliver personalised education and learning outcomes.
