Project implementation

Study Hall School is a newly constructed institution that caters to children from pre-primary to grade 7. The school aims to provide an inclusive learning environment to prepare its students for both personal and professional success, with a focus on digital literacy. To support this goal, the Acronis Cyber Foundation Program has decided to provide the school with a computer lab, complete with 35 computers and other equipment and furniture.

Having access to a computer lab will play a crucial role in bridging the digital divide in the area and addressing gender disparities in digital literacy. Despite global efforts to increase school enrollment for girls in India, their educational completion rates remain low, and their learning outcomes are often limited. Study Hall School places a strong emphasis on girls’ education, placing them at the center of all its efforts.
