Introduction
Efforts of the Azim Premji Foundation revolve around creating effective and
scalable models that significantly improve the quality of learning in the school

Azim Premji Foundation dedicates itself to the cause of Universalization of Elementary
Education in India.
 

 

Computer Aided Learning

• Curricular content that is child centric, interactive and playful with assessment tools that are fun
• Engagement and education of teachers to use interactive content as an effective supplement for classroom teaching
• Positive impact on children with specific learning disabilities: language (oral), communication motivation and social aspects
• Confidence building and IT awareness among children
  
   

The areas chosen for these programmes are based on the following criteria:

• High number of out-of-school children
• Economic backwardness of the geography
• High number of girl children out of school
• Poor ratio of Teachers to Children
• Difficulty in access to schools
• Poor learning levels
