Amid this pandemic, due to the closure of schools, children from marginalized communities are unable to attend online classes as they are not able to afford smartphones. With support from AkzoNobel, we have promoted online learning by providing #Tabs with BYJU’S app and the installation of study curriculum to the 9th and 10th std children from the Navi Mumbai Municipal schools to increase academic engagement to enable self-learning and staying digitally connected to their online classes. This will assist them to transform their academic challenges into possibilities.
