Helping your Kids Put their Best Foot Forward

Anamika Sahu, Managing EditorK-12 – one of the most interesting and fastest growing education segments in India, the sector is still waiting for some strong reforms that can change its current face. How ever, to run with the world and level our education & knowledge with them, it is high time we adopt technologies and leverage it to create the best education ecosystem for our kids. There are few edupreneurs who have jumped into the bandwagon with the determination to make this change happen. Every day working tirelessly, they are innovating new ways to include technology to make education more entertaining while also knowledgeable.
But the challenge lies in the criticalities of adapting to these changed circumstances. What makes schools, parents and kids sceptic of these changes are the intricate & critical technologies involved in building these products that require high tech knowledge to use it. Hence many of them shy off from using it. On the other hand, going digital has provided another platform for these K-12 tech providers to bring content and knowledge to their fingertips. But the poor state of internet penetration and failed network bandwidth at many places have pushed them back to the brainstorming table to think of ways that omit such petty but major hurdles.

Through customizable mobile apps, offline digital assets and eLearning programs built with respect to bandwidth issues have propelled the growth further to places that lack proper internet facilities, thus enabling kids to learn at par with their urban peers. These apps and digital(online/offline) platforms content are mostly curriculum based, include activity books, value based education, illustrated works, story books, fun with learning/gamification and animation, making learning fun and entertaining at the same time.

Bringing to you a list of '10 Most Promising K-12 Tech Service Providers – 2017', we have tried to create a directory of companies that are working on cutting edge technologies to help you kids put the best foot forward. Hope the list suffices it purpose.
