Bengaluru, October 7

The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has partnered with Khan Academy India to offer free courses on mathematics foundation and numeral literacy skills for Indian youth.

As part of the collaboration, Khan Academy has curated 2,100 minutes of online courses in English and conversational Hindi language, which will be available to learners through NSDCse-Skill Indiaportal, a joint statement said on Wednesday.

The courses focus on a range of foundational maths concepts and numeral literacy that are applicable in major vocations and professions, it said.

Beginning from the basics of numbers and integers to more advanced topics like fractions, statistics and geometry, the courses offer flexibility to learners to choose concepts that would be most applicable to their work, and complete them at their own pace, the statement said.

“The courses are designed especially for the disadvantaged youth who have significantly lower learning in reading and mathematics”, it was stated. — PTI
