Share
Project Shiksha, a nonprofit working to strengthen learning outcomes in government schools, marked an important milestone with the launch of its Foundational Computer Science Learning Workbook Series for government school students, alongside an Education Systems Dialogue that brought together leaders from government, academia, industry, and the social sector.
At the centre of the event was the launch of Project Shiksha’s 3-Level Computer Science Learning Workbook Series, designed specifically for government school students. The series introduces students to foundational concepts in computational thinking, digital awareness, and problem-solving through structured and accessible learning modules. The curriculum aims to bridge the digital learning gap and support schools in integrating technology-enabled thinking into early learning environments.
The event featured a Chief Guest address by S. D. Shibulal, Co-founder of SFPI and Co-founder and former CEO, Infosys, and convened thought leaders to explore how India’s public education ecosystem can better prepare students with foundational digital and problem-solving skills for the future.
S. D. Shibulal, Co-founder of SFPI and Co-founder and former CEO, Infosys, said, “India’s public education system is at the heart of building an equitable and future-ready society. When we introduce young learners to foundational concepts in computer science and computational thinking, we are opening pathways for them to participate confidently in a digital world. What makes initiatives like Project Shiksha important is their focus on strengthening the larger education ecosystem – supporting educators, engaging communities, and bringing together partners from government and the industry. Sustainable change in education happens when we invest in systems that enable every child, regardless of circumstance, to access meaningful learning opportunities.”
The launch of the Computer Science Workbook Series represents an important step in equipping students with foundational digital skills while contributing to a broader vision of strengthening India’s public education ecosystem. The event also hosted a dialogue on strengthening India’s public education ecosystem through innovation, partnerships, and technology-enabled learning.
Speaking about the milestone, Neha Chawla, Founder of Project Shiksha, highlighted the importance of strengthening public education systems through collaboration and innovation. “Government schools educate millions of children whose potential can transform the future of our country. Strengthening these learning ecosystems through digital access, experiential learning, and strong community partnerships is essential to building an inclusive and future-ready education system.”
“Meaningful collaboration between educators, government institutions, industry partners and civil society organizations will play a critical role in building scalable solutions for public education”, she added.
The milestone reflects Project Shiksha’s ongoing commitment to strengthening learning ecosystems in government schools and expanding access to quality education for underserved students. Going forward, the initiative aims to deepen school partnerships, advance digital learning, and further empower educators to deliver engaging, future-ready learning experiences.
