Beginning with the states of Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh, the Foundation has taken its digital curriculum to other corners of the country.
After the Telugu language, the curriculum has widened its spectrum to 11 additional languages, including Hindi, English, Tamil, Kannada, & Oriya. Under CAL, a mobile vehicle moves in and around Bangalore. The Foundation has distributed interactive CDs in different languages and trained thousands of local teachers. The aim is to enhance the quality of primary education, and innovate the technologies to enhance it.
Gudemaranahalli Higher Primary School should be considered as a classic epitome for the success of CAL. Out here, the local community is involved in the maintenance of the centre, which looks like a neatly-designed software headquarter. “We can’t solely depend on the government and the Foundation, though it is doing so much for us. Meanwhile, the community should give a back-up to the good work. Then only can we make this or any project, sustainable,” says Head Master N. Pujaraiaha.
This programme by the social arm of Wipro is definitely an add-on to others taken up by the various governments to increase India’s literacy rate. The APF, with its association with state governments and various local communities, has engineered a unique tripartite collaboration, which is playing an active and unprecedented role of monitoring and upgrading the kind of education dispensed under education programmes in rural India. Other biggies in the corporate world – like Tata Group & Reliance Energy – have also plunged into the education pool with their programmes like computer-based functional literacy (CBFL) and community initiatives and social activities in and around Dahanu taluka, a predominant tribal area, to spread literacy in rural India as part of their CSR plans. The aim is to increase the reach of these initiatives to several states, which lack proper infrastructure and thus lag behind in literacy levels. These include Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and the states in the north-eastern region. Educating adults as well as the new generation is imperative with newly-digitised curriculum in more languages. But will such well-thought-out plans result in education for all in the next decade or so?
