XPRIZE, in partnership with the British Asian Trust and ShikshaNext, has launched a US $6 million, two-year global competition to develop affordable, scalable solutions that improve foundational literacy and numeracy skills for Grade 1 students in India. Concurrently, AVPN's AI Opportunity Fund, supported by Google.org and the Asian Development Bank, has expanded AI skills training across 19 Asia-Pacific markets, including India, focusing on educators and workers. Both initiatives aim to enhance education quality and skill development through innovative approaches and local partnerships.
