Today, most schools in India, especially the IB Boards, have included technologies such as iPads and notebooks in their teaching methodology. While this has given students from recognised schools an edge over their peers from schools in socially backward quarters, it has also widened the gap between the educational and learning abilities among them. Akanksha Foundation, a non-profit organisation, that was set up in 1991 as an after-school centre has been working towards bridging this gap. In 2014, the organisation partnered with Apple to integrate technological support in their schools across Mumbai and Pune.
At Sitaram Mill Compound School, iPads are introduced to students right from kindergarten.
