Britannica Education, a global publisher of encyclopedias, aligns its digital learning solutions with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020). It recently launched 12 digital products in India, equipping school students and educators. These products offer customisable digital and print-ready learning materials designed to meet the evolving needs of classrooms and learners of all ages.
According to officials, the subscription-based tools include Britannica School, Britannica Library, Britannica Professional Learning, and Britannica Connect. With this, Encyclopedia Britannica has shifted tracks from its bellwether print offerings and has entered the Indian EdTech market.
