Adani Foundation ties up with Cambridge to introduce coding in Gujarat schools

Adani Foundation said on Wednesday that it has tied up with the Cambridge University Press to enrich school curriculum with subjects such as Coding, and to transform teaching-learning experience in schools. It would also focus on promoting English.

Priti Adani, Adani Foundation Chairperson, and Peter Phillips, Chief Executive of Cambridge University Press, signed the letter of intent for rolling out the futuristic educational initiatives, Adani Foundation said in a release.

"Under the programme 'Coding Sandpit', a curriculum has been designed to offer a transformational experience of teaching and learning of Computer Science and ICT in schools. This focuses on honing computational thinking skills of the learners," the release said.

The Cambridge Language Solution, a digital language lab for schools, would focus on sharpening skills of listening and speaking among students. The Foundation said that it would also work to promote English under the 'English as the third language' project, aimed at first-generation learners and teachers of the language.

"This partnership will be one more endeavour by Adani Foundation to make the less fortunate sections of the society self-reliant," Adani said.
