Today, India is home to over 265 million students in grades 1-12. The empowerment that computer science education can bring, especially to students from traditionally underserved communities, is invaluable. Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. With Code.org, Indian students will have free access to our curricula, unlocking potential and expanding opportunities for all students.
With India on the brink of digital transformation to modernize and revamp the country's education system, now is the perfect moment to make computer science education accessible to all students across the country.
Aligned with NEP 2020, it addresses an urgent need, as the policy calls to prepare students with essential 21st-century skills—critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy, and problem-solving—qualities that computer science education can uniquely nurture.
NEP 2020 also highlights the importance of introducing coding and AI at an early age, increasing students' exposure to these transformative skills. The policy aims to equip young learners to be future-ready and inspire them to lead in a world driven by technological innovation.
Build foundational skills
Like reading, writing, or math, computer science is foundational to other pursuits. It teachers problem solving and critical thinking, and enables students to actively participate in an increasingly digital society.
Leverage comprehensive teaching resources
In-depth lesson plans and flexible professional learning options ensure teachers with diverse backgrounds can successfully teach CS.
Unlock pathways for all students
Tech skills are crucial for the future of any child, anywhere in the world. Computer science is key to ensuring equity, giving all children the tools to succeed in a digital world.
India's thriving ecosystem of education nonprofits supplements state efforts by providing computer science education through targeted interventions, reaching millions of students.
Partnership network
Our partners have a presence across 21 states with a higher concentration in southern regions. They work directly with students and teachers through an in-school delivery model.
Teacher capacity building
With over 9 million teachers in India, enabling meaningful teacher-student interactions is key to transforming student learning outcomes in schools. To support this goal, our partners design and deliver teacher training programs, provide teaching materials, and foster supportive communities for educators.
CS curriculum
Partners integrate Code.org curriculum and pedagogy into CS and cross-disciplinary subjects to create fun, engaging learning experiences for students.
