Pearson Schools recently announced the launch of EduriteONE; a VSAT-based engineering and medical prep programme to be implemented at one of its schools, Gyansagar International School in Sohagpur, Madhya Pradesh via a link from a dedicated studio in Bangalore.

Pearson’s EduriteONE is a remote delivery education service offering coaching for entrance exams and aims to help students engage in participatory sessions with peers and instructors, irrespective of their location. It delivers live sessions to the school with state-of-the-art technology and a centralised monitoring system to track class sessions and student feedback.

Pearson Education Services, the parent company, will facilitate the implementation of VSAT based programme and will provide students staying in remote towns and semi-urban centres access to the best faculty available in the country.

Meena Ganesh, MD and CEO, Pearson Education Services, said on the occasion, “The EduriteONE programme will help us reach out to students in tier II and tier III cities so that no child is left behind. The introduction of the programme at Gyansagar International School will make high-quality exam prep coaching available locally in the institution premises. EduriteONE is yet another initiative which is in line with our vision of being a transformative learning enabler through innovative technology-led initiatives and we hope to provide quality learning experience.”

Pearson Schools is well placed to rapidly scale up offerings to students. Introduction of the VSAT-enabled EduriteONE programme at Gyansagar is yet another step in taking the fastest growing chain of schools to the next level. By virtue of this programme, students can pursue their mainstream school curriculum and test prep courses as an integrated offering right inside their own school premises. Through effective use of VSAT technology, Pearson Schools will deliver standardised, high-quality and cost effective test prep.

Pearson Schools will provide a reliable flow of exam prep delivery through the VSAT enabled EduriteONE programme. Pearson’s high-end audio/ visual technology replicates a real classroom learning environment using this technology. The broader objective is to overcome the shortage of platforms and teachers who are equipped to train students for higher education preparatory exams at various learning centres in remote locations.
