Mathew Joseph (Country Director, AIF) said that AIF’s partnership with BYJU’S is helping them bridge the digital divide and bring EdTech-based education to the mainstream while also providing equal opportunities to children from socially and economically weaker sections of the society.
Madhavi, a class 6 student from Nashik said that BYJU’S Education For All Initiative has helped her keep learning even when the schools are closed, she also mentioned that learning is fun and easy with BYJU’S.
