EmpowerU – Embedding Intelligence In Education
Embedding intelligence in education for better decisions and impact at scale
“The way to transform our Education System is to strengthen every component of this system, i.e. the decision-maker, the teacher, the student and the school itself.”
The way to provide quality education to every student of India is to utilize technology at its best.
This is the core mantra behind the huge impact created by EmpowerU in Government-run schools across multiple states and districts of India. In last five years EmpowerU claims success in addressing a series of complex challenges existent in government schools like poor learning outcomes of student, improving basic literacy and numeracy, facilitating data-driven decision- making coupled with real-time data monitoring and analysis of every school.
Their work has impacted half a million students alongside 50000 teachers and 7000 schools.
In district Giridih of Jharkhand, educational parameters showed quick improvement like – teacher attendance improved by 20%, mid-day meal delivery improved by 15% as no shortage of grains happened due to intelligent detection capability of EmpowerU.
The implementation of the project EmpowerU Disha empowered the decision-makers to get real-time insights and receive grievances of school that helped them to take quick action to improve the facilities and infrastructure. The time of teachers was saved with facilities like online leave application, grievance redressal. It is a real-time monitoring and evaluation product embedded with inbuilt intelligence to detect several issues based on Key Performance Indicators (KPI). It improved multiple parameters that impact education as a whole like, teacher presence, facilities monitoring, grievance and others. Besides, it collected real-time data from every school in the district, even without the internet.
