Virtual school launches Std 9th and 10th curriculum
Virtual school AAS Vidyalaya has launched its services for Grade 9 and 10, under CBSE curriculum. Anytime Anywhere School (AAS) Vidyalaya is an app-based education system, that brings a school to a smartphone. The virtual app earlier had Classes 5th, 6th and 7th available, but the founders have now launched 9th and 10th curriculum as well, as 10th Standard is the minimum qualification required for the students to study further or get jobs.
A one-of-a-kind in the country, the app provides children access to regular lectures of all the subjects under CBSE curriculum. It operates exactly like a regular school with a class-teacher, timetables, subject periods and regular assessments.
"10th Board has a huge significance in India as it is the minimum qualification needed to get a government job," said Vikas Kakwani, the CEO of the virtual school, adding, "We were inundated with not just requests but straightforward demands to launch curriculum for Grade 9 and 10, which is why we have launched it in record time."
The application has seen a positive feedback so far, and is used primarily in rural schools, where students are often made to drop out of schools after completing primary education. Often, schools in these areas also lack quality education, which this app makes sure is provided.
The application is also used by students in metropolitan cities as aid as the students can view classroom videos on repeat mode for revisions, and access the entire syllabus at any given time without having to enroll in tutions. Currently, the application has reached to 25,000 students, adding 400-500 students per day to its user base.

Targeted towards the middle and the lower-middle class, the app has the potential to scale and reach these 85 million children who cannot, but wish to attend school. With Grade 9 and 10 being launched, AAS Vidyalaya is all set to transform the lives of students with its easy accessibility.
