Pearson Invests In An Affordable Learning Venture In India


“We are thrilled to invest in another of our Edupreneur programme winners and excited to see Experifun’s effect on classrooms and science test results in India. Experifun has continued to demonstrate a clear understanding of teacher and learner needs and a commitment to improving learner outcomes. Their product pipeline is innovative, ground breaking, and can dramatically change the face of science education in India,” says Amar Kumar, Senior Vice President at Pearson, who will be joining the Experifun board.

 The kits are already being used in more than 70 schools across India.  There are already more than 25 different types of kits with several more in development, that cover topics ranging from chemistry, biology, to physical science. In time, Experifun aims to fully map the science curriculum of India and develop national reach.

 This is the PALF’s seventh investment and represents the Fund’s commitment to high-quality, for-profit education to the low-income segment of the developing world.
