Project Associate - Maharashtra

Khan Academy is a fast-paced, nonprofit on a mission to provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We already

reach millions of students every month and are growing rapidly. We’re building a library of world-class instructional and practice

resources that empowers learners. Whether they’re studying matrices, mitosis, or multivariable calculus, we want to offer students

the resources to realize that they can learn anything.

Khan Academy India aims to deliver a world-class user experience to learners in India that is locally relevant and is enabled by a

strong on-the-ground team and operations. Our learning system is mastery-based, which allows students to master key concepts at a

pace that’s right for them before moving on to more challenging content. From serving under 500,000 learners in 2016, we now serve

over 4 million learners a month across our websites, apps, and YouTube channels. These learners include both independent learners

accessing us at home and teacher-directed learners in schools. Our focus is to reach the underserved by making our content

accessible in local languages. Khan Academy is already available in English, Hindi, Hinglish, Kannada, Gujarati, Tamil, Marathi,

Odia, Assamese, and Punjabi.

In line with our focus on reaching the underserved, we partner with government school systems to improve student learning outcomes

by enabling teachers and students to optimally utilize the tools and resources on the Khan Academy platform. From our government

partnerships, we have reached over 8.4 million learners, partnering with 22,000+ schools across various states. Our goal is to

continue expanding our scale and deepen impact across partner states. The Schools Team works in a lean and collaborative way with

our government partners, developing strong implementation plans and providing support at every step of the way. We learn and

constantly iterate by gathering feedback and through data-backed insights and efficacy studies.
