Literacy and education are important social issues in India. There are countless challenges in this space for both children and adults alike, such as low student retention rates in schools, adults struggling to acquire new employable skills, and many, many more.
We want to explore digital solutions to some of the toughest challenges around literacy and education in India. Your ideas will help us identify opportunities where we can help.
We welcome high-quality submissions to identify what these most important challenges are, and devise online and digital technology solutions to address them. Think about how you may leverage social media platforms, messaging apps and various new technologies like machine learning and others in your solutions.
