Meta partners CBSE to enable 10mn students to embrace tech

Meta will expand its collaboration with Central Board of Secondary Education to provide a curriculum on digital safety and online wellbeing and augmented reality over 10 million students and 1 million educators in the nation over the next few years.

Additionally, in line with the government’s vision of universalizing education, Meta and CBSE will democratize the high school curriculum by allowing students access to quality educational content online through modules which would be made available on CBSEs website.

The announcement was made by the Mark Zuckerberg at Meta’s Fuel for India, 2021.

“I’m really excited about this collaboration and I think it’s a huge opportunity this entrepreneurial spirit and bring some of these tools around the metaverse, and training to the education system here in India,” he said.

The first phase of FB for education initiative was launched in June 2020, aimed at training students and teachers for the future of work and creating a safe online environment and learning experience.

It witnessed over 5,00,000 students show interest for digital safety and online wellbeing and more than 14,000 teachers apply for training in augmented reality.
