The ability to read, write and speak English is a basic need for both children as well as adults across the world to access and benefit from all possible education and career opportunities. Insufficient language skills limit the capacity of people to access, harness and leverage information in a technology-driven world, profoundly impacting employment prospects and overall socio-economic development.
40K Plus addresses this lack of access to quality English language education in low-resource environments, where significant physical, socio-cultural and economic barriers to education exist.
We have developed a non-internet reliant, technology-driven program that enables first-generation English learners to build CEFR A2 level competencies in listening, speaking, reading and writing English. We have validated this program in India and Cambodia and are now on an exciting growth trajectory.
Our vision is to make quality learning affordable and accessible to any person in a resource-starved environment, anywhere in the world.
