Overview
- The School Education Department is partnering with EnglishHelper to deliver a three-year programme that combines AI-guided self-learning with teacher-led instruction across listening, speaking, reading and writing.
- The initial phase covers 300,000 students in Grades 9 to 12 across 500 government schools spanning every district in the state.
- Classroom delivery integrates EnglishHelper’s Reading & Comprehension Assistant for self-study alongside the ReadToMe tool for curriculum-aligned lessons.
- Officials say the initiative focuses on building confident communication skills to improve students’ employability and readiness for higher education and global opportunities.
- Funding is being mobilised through CSR and philanthropic contributions, building on pilots since 2013, a 2015 USAID expansion and a 2021 MoU that enabled nearly 150,000 technology-enabled classes.
