New Delhi, June 02, 2020.
Bharti Foundation, the
philanthropic arm of Bharti Enterprises in partnership with Central Square
Foundation (CSF), introduces TicTacLearn Content – a repository of learning
videos for Maths and Science, specially designed and curated in Hindi, English
and regional languages for students. The initiative will provide students with
video-based learning resources that can be accessed at home or outside school.
It will also support teachers with sound pedagogical tools and comprehensive
content library that would enhance mathematical and scientific competencies of
students.
The easy-to-access repository of learning videos, developed by
Central Square Foundation and Google.org, will benefit rural students of the
Satya Bharti Schools as well as students of government schools under the Satya
Bharti Quality Support Program across India. Central Square Foundation is a
nonprofit organization working with the vision of ensuring quality school
education for all children in India.
Talking about this partnership, Ms. Mamta Saikia, CEO, Bharti
Foundation said, “It has been our constant endeavor to provide rural
children access to quality education through innovative teaching-learning
methodologies. Technology and mobile phones, especially when schools are closed
due to COVID-19, have helped us in ensuring that rural students continue to
stay engaged with education, while being at home. TicTacLearn Content is a
recent addition in our efforts to ensure effective and continued learning for
our students.”
TicTacLearn is a repository of high-quality digital learning
resources that aims to solve three critical aspects of online learning i.e.
quality content, engagement and access. These videos are accessible on YouTube
as well as on DIKSHA - the National Teacher Platform envisaged as a repository
of Teaching-Learning resources and teacher development by the Ministry of Human
Resources Development.
Bharti Foundation has been closely working with organizations to
promote and enhance the quality of teaching and learning in rural schools and
develop them as institutions of learning excellence. Through its education
programs for rural India, the Foundation is currently reaching out to more than
2,70,000 students in close to 1,000 schools, including partner Government
schools and Satya Bharti Schools, across 16 states and Union Territories.
