ImaginXP and OrangeSlates, EdTech firms will provide over 50,000 school instructors with the latest digital technology tools and teaching methodologies employing modern approaches.

OrangeSlates' proprietary platform will be utilized to upskill teachers through a series of short-duration live training sessions led by the country's leading experts and educators. The edtech duo has also announced their 'School Connect Program,' through which they will reach out to 5000 schools to equip both teachers and kids with skills that will help form a better future. There will also be live counselling sessions as part of the programme.

Furthermore, in order to train and develop instructors, they are offering long-term programs for educators in conjunction with some of India's premier colleges. Teachers can now enroll in such programmes using these courses, allowing them to keep up with the worldwide evolving edtech industry.

When building courses for educators, the following considerations were made:

Duration is limited. Expert-led live courses — Courses that address evolving skill such as implementing hybrid learning in schools require digital tools like augmented reality, and Google Workspace for Education.

Courses designed in accordance with the NEP 2020– The most recent Education policy, created in 2020, places a strong emphasis on the development of an individual's creative potential. It is based on the premise that education must develop not only cognitive talents, but also foundational capacities in order to achieve a higher quality of education and skill.

OrangeSlates offers live instructor-led training. OrangeSlates will provide live short-duration training classes to all teachers from eligible schools in order to improve the learning experience for their students.

Mr. Shashank Shwet, Founder and CEO of ImaginXP, commented on the strategic collaboration, saying, "At ImaginXP, we offer future skills degree programmes and credit certification courses that are aligned with corporate-led curriculums in order to provide students and aspirants with a coaching platform that helps them write their own successes." We have observed a significant increase in course enrollment over time, as well as a large number of student achievements with our existing programmes.

"Our collaboration with OrangeSlates will help us further define success for teachers, who have not only been the backbone of the edutech industry, but have also had difficulty in upskilling themselves in recent years." With the short-term and live training programmes, our educators will now have an equal opportunity to advance their careers."

Mr. Pradeep Pillai, CEO & Co-Founder, OrangeSlates, also commented on the collaboration, saying, "We had many educators who were getting used to teaching utilizing new-age technology like smart boards or smart classes." This adoption, however, was slow and could have taken much longer. In most cases, the COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns shifted them to an online teaching area overnight, with little or no device upgrading, software support, or training. Due to limited digital knowledge and exposure, educators have experienced difficulty in keeping their lessons entertaining and impactful throughout last year and more."

"We are thrilled to have collaborated with ImaginXP to enable over 50,000 educators to inspire, educate, and engage their students." "By taking advantage of these short-term live training courses led by selected top experts in the country, or the long-term courses offered by top universities, our educators will now have the opportunity to learn new age teaching methodologies, understand the importance of using the latest digital tools to upskill themselves, and move towards career amplification."
