Mrinal Mohit, Chief Operating Officer, BYJU’S, “The significant rise and acceptance of online learning in the last one year has led to the swift digitisation of our education system. Teachers and students had to adapt to online learning overnight and are now rapidly discovering its potential. Through our partnership with Google, we are aiming to aid this digital revolution and equip our educators with the necessary technological and learning assets to ensure continuity of education. We are truly excited to collaborate with Google and believe that our partnership will be a key facilitator in the new wave of re-defining the future of learning.”
Designed to enable seamless and convenient learning, the platform also features Google Classroom, offering simplicity and flexibility, along with a security experience for all educators. Besides the Google Workspace for Education features that include Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms, teachers will get access to Google Meet – Google’s premium video conferencing solution – where up to 100 people can participate using Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals, for free.
Bani Dhawan, Head of Education - South Asia, Google said, “This past year, we at Google have been especially vested in using our technology and platforms to help extend quality learning experiences to students everywhere. We are thrilled to partner with Byju's in reaching out to schools across the country to bring rich and interactive English-based learning solutions that complement the school curriculum and look forward to working to make this offering available in Indian languages later. With the rapid move to online learning and teaching, educators today are increasingly looking for more meaningful ways to bring their lessons to life, and we hope this offering makes online classes that much more engaging and fulfilling.”
