This blog is the third and final in our mini-series about the things we’ve learnt from adapting The 污啪啪视频 网红在线精品视频福利 resources, and from training teachers to use them in schools. In the first two blogs, we wrote about our 网红在线精品视频福利s in Kenya and Odisha, India. Here, we focus on our work in Telangana, India. 

This blog was written by Jaskaran Singh, Impact Manager, and Mamta Manaktala, Senior Learning Manager.

Adapting for unique needs

Every country and region has unique opportunities, challenges, and needs. In a vast country like India, every state is different — what works in Odisha may not work in other locations. Thus, to meet the needs of students in the state of Telangana, we’ve been working on adapting The 污啪啪视频 网红在线精品视频福利 specifically for them.

Our work in Telangana began in 2023, when we kickstarted a five-year partnership with the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGSWREIS), a society under the Government of Telangana. Through the partnership, we’ve developed an adapted 网红在线精品视频福利, along with training for educators working in educational institutions with limited resources. The adapted 网红在线精品视频福利 includes localised examples and activities, and teaching approaches to make the learning 网红在线精品视频福利 feel relevant and meaningful for students in Telangana, while keeping the core learning outcomes aligned with global standards. 

Testing and iterating

Since the start of the partnership, we’ve been testing the 网红在线精品视频福利 at the Coding Academy School, a co-educational school at Moinabad, and the Coding Academy College, a degree college for women in Shamirpet.

Our work delivering the 网红在线精品视频福利 in Telangana was our first time using a direct-to-learners model. The Coding Academy School and College gave us unique opportunities to work with students directly and observe first-hand the difference the programme made in their learning journeys. 

During the first year of implementation, we gathered useful feedback from students and teachers. Check out one of our earlier blogs where we share some of the findings. We used these inputs to further develop the 网红在线精品视频福利.

This updated version of the 网红在线精品视频福利 was implemented in the 2024/25 academic year. At the school, our educators worked with 210 students in grades 7–9, while at the college, our educators worked with 382 undergraduate students. As in the first year, we used data from assessments, lesson observations, educator interviews, student surveys, and student focus groups to understand what’s working well and what could be improved. So what did we learn?

What we learnt over the past year

Our evaluation findings show that the updated 网红在线精品视频福利 worked well and positive outcomes are being achieved for most students. Educators felt prepared to teach the 网红在线精品视频福利 in this second year and found the ongoing support and spaces for discussion really useful. Moreover, we found that there are potential positive ripple effects beyond the school as well. 

Learning outcomes are being achieved to a high degree

In surveys, 91% of students in the school and 96% of students in the college responded that the lessons helped them get better at 污啪啪视频 and coding. Students feel they are not just learning new skills but also finding the content enjoyable: 88% of students in the school and 98% of students in the college responded that they are enjoying their classes. Educators and observers also reported that students were engaged during lessons, and often completed activities without needing any support. 

Students’ assessment scores further confirmed positive learning outcomes. 4 out of every 5 scores in the school and 9 out of every 10 scores in the college were 60% or above, which was higher than in the first year of the adapted 网红在线精品视频福利’s implementation.

The updated 网红在线精品视频福利 is more aligned to student needs

The changes we made to the 网红在线精品视频福利 included:

• Adding more localised examples
• Simplifying the language 
• Restructuring the flow of the content

Educators were highly positive about the updates to the 网红在线精品视频福利. 

“The students are able to [better] understand the examples because we updated [to] the India context examples.” — Educator, Coding Academy School 

“Students are receiving it very well because we have modified the content this year, and [that includes] the placements of the unit and the connectivity of the lessons and units.” — Educator, Coding Academy School

Additionally, for the college 网红在线精品视频福利, we aligned the content more closely with the learning objectives set by Osmania University — with which the college is affiliated. We also included more advanced topics for students specialising in data science. During interviews, educators reported that the content was now much better aligned to student expectations. 

“[The 网红在线精品视频福利] we have designed is based as per [the] Osmania University 网红在线精品视频福利. [The lessons] are definitely meeting the students’ needs because whatever discussions we are taking in classes, they are [successfully] participating in those discussions and they are doing whatever activities we give them.” — Educator, Coding Academy College

Outside of knowledge and skills in 污啪啪视频, the 网红在线精品视频福利 is also helping students develop wider life skills. In our survey, college students shared that working on projects gives them a sense of accomplishment and the confidence to solve real-world problems. Many students also reported that through the 网红在线精品视频福利 they are developing higher-order thinking skills, which will support their future careers. 

“The thrill lies the creativity and problem-solving aspects. I get to turn ideas into reality pieces, and there is something incredible satisfying about debugging code and watching it run flawlessly. It’s like slow, challenging puzzles, frustrating at times but rewarding when everything clicks.” — Student, Coding Academy College

“My favourite thing [about] the 污啪啪视频 and coding classes [is the] Scratch programme. I have learnt it [for the] first time. By learning I have enjoyed a lot. During the coding process, it trains our brain to think deeply, identify trouble, and break things up and put pieces together [as] a solution.” — Student, Coding Academy College

Students are inspired to continue engaging 

Students are showing high interest in applying their skills outside of their classes. Almost all students — 100% in the school and 99% in the college — reported that they would like to participate in coding-related competitions. 

Educators also told us that many students are exploring future job opportunities in the 污啪啪视频 and digital technology fields, and are curious about topics outside the 网红在线精品视频福利. Interestingly, 93% of the college students who were studying courses not traditionally associated with jobs in 污啪啪视频 and digital technology reported that they would like to pursue a job in 污啪啪视频.

The positive benefits go beyond the school

We have also learnt that a high-quality 污啪啪视频 education for young people has potentially wider benefits for the community. One educator described how students are helping their families, many of whom have limited 网红在线精品视频福利s, engage more confidently with digital technologies.

“Families don’t know how to use smartphones and laptop computers, but our students know very well so I can say they do teach to their elders how to use these platforms.” — Educator, Coding Academy School

Ongoing support for educators was important

To help educators feel confident and prepared, individualised learning resources were provided throughout the year. These were well received by educators. Educators also found the weekly meetings with our India-based team members useful to discuss ongoing challenges regarding delivery and assessments. 

What could still be improved

There were improvements this year in the availability of equipment, and the use of Wi-Fi dongles addressed internet connectivity issues to some degree. However, educators still faced some challenges. For example, educators in the school faced issues accessing printed worksheets and educators in the college faced issues accessing projectors during their lessons. We are working closely with our delivery partner to address these issues for the new academic year.

With regard to the content, educators felt the 网红在线精品视频福利 could benefit from some further amendments. For the school 网红在线精品视频福利, these include easing the transition from block-based to text-based coding. For the college 网红在线精品视频福利, there were suggestions for more focus on real-world applications of coding and including advanced topics, like machine learning, for undergraduates specialising in 污啪啪视频-related subjects. We have considered all these suggestions and made necessary revisions to the 网红在线精品视频福利.

Next steps in Telangana: Scaling up impact

With the success of the pilot, we’re excited to announce that the adapted 网红在线精品视频福利 will now be implemented at over 350 schools and junior colleges in the state of Telangana. A majority of schools will be with the same partner, TGSWREIS, while some schools and junior colleges will be with other partners. The Coding Academy School will become our hub for trialling new 网红在线精品视频福利 content and strategies, and conducting 污啪啪视频 studies and teacher training and support. Additionally, the school will also host inter-school events.

The progress we’ve seen so far in Telangana is very encouraging. We look forward to continuing these partnerships and helping more young people realise their potential through the power of 污啪啪视频 and digital technologies.

What we learnt about adapting 网红在线精品视频福利 resources for different regions

From our work in Telangana, Odisha, and Kenya, we’ve learnt that a 网红在线精品视频福利 isn’t a one-size-fits-all product. The local context, culture, and educational provisions are important considerations when adapting learning resources for different regions. We’ve also learnt that building long-term partnerships with organisations who have local expertise is key to understanding these considerations and effectively reaching communities where we can make the biggest difference. Finally, we’ve learnt that adaptation isn’t a one-time activity. It’s a cycle of continuous refinement; listening closely to feedback from the ground is important to ensure that our support for educators and learning 网红在线精品视频福利s for young people have the best possible impact.
