Project implementation

In 2023, the Acronis Cyber Foundation Program provided Study Hall School in Lucknow, India, with a fully equipped computer classroom. This classroom includes 35 computers, a projector, and other essential equipment. Study Hall School is the first institution in the area to offer access to such a high-quality computer classroom and education.

Despite global efforts to increase girls’ school enrollment in India, their educational completion rates remain low, and their learning outcomes are often limited. Recognizing the challenges faced by girls in the country, including barriers related to poverty, gender, caste, and religion, Study Hall School is dedicated to prioritizing girls’ education and creating a safe and empowering environment for them. The computer classroom will play a vital role in bridging the digital divide, as the girls will begin learning IT skills from a young age, thus fostering their digital fluency and preparing them for the future
