The Global Learning Crisis in Numbers: • 250M children lack school access • 70% in low-income countries can't read basic text (World Bank) • 50% of Indian 5th graders can't read 2nd grade material (ASER) Three Systemic Failures we address: 1. The Technology Trap (a) 3.7B people offline (ITU) can't use internet-dependent edtech (b) Current solutions require electricity and expensive devices 2. The Teacher Crisis (a) 69M teacher shortage worldwide (UNICEF) (b) Overburdened educators struggle with 50:1 student ratios 3. The Disability Divide (a) Only 50% of schools have adapted infrastructure (UNESCO) (b) Disabled students 2.5x more likely to be out of school (GPE) Why This Matters Now: In India alone, these gaps create a lost generation - where even enrolled students fail to gain basic literacy after 5 years of schooling. Globally, they perpetuate cycles of poverty, with the most marginalized (girls, disabled children, refugees) left furthest behind. The Critical Need: Solutions must work without internet or electricity, support overworked teachers, and include all learners equally. That's why we built Class Saathi - because 500M children deserve tools designed for their real-world classrooms.

Class Saathi is an affordable, offline-first AI-powered edtech solution that empowers teachers to deliver interactive, data-driven learning in any classroom, even without the internet. How it works: Hardware: Students use low-cost Bluetooth clickers (or existing devices) to respond to quizzes. Teachers control lessons via a simple app on their phone/tablet/laptop. Real-Time Engagement: During class, teachers pose questions (verbally or displayed) from our software. Students answer instantly via clickers, and results appear on the teacher’s screen - turning passive lectures into active learning. Inclusivity Tools: Audio support, adjustable pacing, and tactile interfaces accommodate disabilities (e.g., visual impairments). Analytics: Data syncs to the cloud when the internet is available, generating insights on student performance to guide personalized instruction. Key Technology: (a) Bluetooth-enabled devices (works without Wi-Fi). (b) Lightweight multifunction and multiuser apps (compatible with low-end Android phones). (c) AI-driven analytics (prioritizes actionable feedback for teachers, not complex dashboards). Impact: Pilots in India showed 10% higher test scores in the 12 month period and 90%+ teacher adoption due to minimal training needs. Scalable: Costs <$5/student/year.

Class Saathi directly serves two underserved groups: 1. Students in low-resource communities, especially those: (a) In offline/rural areas (3.7B people lack internet access). (b) Affected by crises or teacher shortages (69M teachers needed globally). 2. Impact: Replaces passive rote learning with active participation, improving foundational skills (literacy/numeracy) and confidence. For students with disabilities, it provides accessible tools (audio, tactile) to engage equally. 3. Overwhelmed Teachers, who often: (a) Lack tools to assess 50+ students individually. (b) Receive no training on inclusive education. 4. Impact: Gives real-time data to identify struggling students, customize pacing, and reduce manual grading. Teachers report saving 5+ hours/week while reaching diverse learners. Example: In a government school in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India, a teacher with 78 students (including 4 with visual impairments) used Class Saathi to: (a) Engage the entire class simultaneously. (b) Provide audio quizzes for visually impaired students. (c) Cut grading time by 80%. Long-term: Bridges the gap between under-resourced schools and 21st-century learning - without dependency on expensive tech or infrastructure.
