Khan academy adds entire CBSE math curriculum to its youtube
video tutorials
California-based Khan academy has added Indian math curriculum of Central
Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) from 5th grade all the way upto 12th and
aims to provide a comprehensive coverage of the syllabus.
Khan academy is a not-for-profit educational organisation founded in 2006 by
educator Salman Khan. The organisation produces short lectures in the form of
YouTube videos.
The academy uses software, deep data analytics and intuitive user interfaces
to help students and teachers around the world.
Its resources include pre-school learning, math, biology,
chemistry, physics, economics and finance, history etc and the United States
makes 70 per cent of its student base, while the rest hail from countries like
India, Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa.
In association with the Academy, Salman Khan also runs Khan
Lab School in California which is a laboratory school. The school allows
students to work at their own pace, so an eight-year-old could already be doing
algebra and a 12-year-old still working on foundational pre-algebra.
Recently, the Academy also announced that it will be offering
free online LSAT practice materials as part of a new partnership with the Law
School Admission Council. The free practice materials will be available on the
website from the second half of 2018.
