Bangalore: The Karnataka Government collaborates with Cisco for the scheme Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) to provide curriculum-based remote supplementary learning in five government schools in Hoskote Taluk in Bangalore Rural District.

The project will be on a public-private partnership model where Cisco will deploy its solution and maintain it as a service that includes remote access and support.

The schools that are part of the pilot are Kumbalahalli GHPS, Sulibele GMPS, Bendiganahalli GHPS, Muthasandra GHPS and Devangundi GHPS. The government of Karnataka will provide the basic school infrastructure.

Using the CEED platform, more than 750 students from classes five to eight in these five schools will receive supplementary teaching in English, mathematics, science and social sciences.

SSA aims at providing primary education to children of the age group 6-14 years, providing educational facilities to all inaccessible and unreserved rural habitations, creating new infrastructure and renovating the current one.
