ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY
Khan Academy is a fast-paced, nonprofit startup on a mission to provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We already reach millions of students every month and are growing rapidly. We’re building a library of world-class instructional and practice resources that empower learners. Whether they’re studying matrices, mitosis, or multivariable calculus, we want to offer students the resources to realise that they can learn anything.
ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY INDIA
Khan Academy India aims to deliver a world-class user experience to learners in India that is locally relevant and is enabled by a strong on-the-ground team and operations. Our learning system is mastery-based, allowing students to master key concepts at a pace that suits them before moving on to more challenging content. From serving under 500,000 learners in 2016, we are now serving almost 4 million learners a month across our websites, apps and YouTube channels. These learners include both independent learners accessing us at home and teacher-directed learners in schools. Our focus is to reach the underserved by making our content accessible in local languages. Khan Academy is already available in English, Hindi, Odia, Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Assamese, and Punjabi.
ABOUT THE INDIA SCHOOLS TEAM
In line with our focus on reaching the underserved, we partner with government school systems to improve student learning outcomes by enabling teachers and students to optimally utilise the tools and resources on the Khan Academy platform. From our government partnerships, we reached 2.1 million learners last year, partnering with 70,000+ schools across various states. Our goal is to expand our scale to reach over five million learners in three years.
The Schools Team works in a lean and collaborative way with our government partners, developing strong implementation plans and providing support every step of the way. We learn and constantly iterate by gathering feedback and through data-backed insights and efficacy studies. With a small team, we have managed to reach 1 Lakh+ teachers and 2.1 million learners across various states.
