| Amazon wants to teach computer science in India |
Amazon plans to expand its Amazon Computer Science for Future Engineers program to India to demonstrate its growing interest in education in the world's second largest internet market.
The company said in the recruitment announcement: Currently, the Amazon Future Engineer program is targeted in India. Selected applicants will be assigned to work with local nonprofits and government officials.
The program aims to provide computer classes to underprivileged children and teens.
The company announced in its announcement that it plans to launch the program in India in 2021. The program is currently operating in the United States, where the company offers computer courses to more than 5,000 schools and 550,000 students. .
Amazon in India is focusing on providing equipment to children and youth in impoverished communities to create a better future for themselves.
To date, the US e-commerce giant has invested more than $ 6.5 billion in India and has been researching education in India for many years.
Last year he launched JEE Ready, an app designed to prepare students for admission to India's finest technical college.
JEE Ready has since changed its name to Amazon Academy. It offers free online courses and analyzes students' performance with mock tests.
It should be noted that Amazon is not the only US company focused on India's growing education market. There is also Facebook, Microsoft and Google.
Earlier this year, Facebook partnered with CBSE to launch accredited courses in digital security, online wellness, and augmented reality for students and educators.
This year, Facebook also invested in Unacademy, a Bangalore-based startup that offers online tutorials.
This year, Google invested in Cuemath, an Indian education technology startup, and has now teamed up with CBSE to train over a million teachers in India.
Google offers a number of free tools like G Suite for Education and Google Classroom that you can use to digitize the education experience.
Microsoft has also worked with several Indian government and industry organizations, including the National Skills Development Foundation and Nasscom, to help more than 1 million people develop their own skills.
