Mumbai-based Mexus Education Pvt. Ltd, the well-known education technology solutions provider, has partnered with the 45-schools strong St. Xavier’s Group in Uttar Pradesh (UP) to complement the learning environment and philosophy of the group. These schools have opted for technology integration to leverage the creativity of students through enabling learning environments transcending textbooks education. All St. Xavier’s schools sited in Varanasi, Allahabad, Lucknow and other parts of UP have opted for digitisation in partnership with Mexus. These schools will be provided complete school solutions including Iken Library for digital classrooms, Iken Evaluate for remote objective tests and Iken Learning Labs to introduce hands-on conceptual understanding of science subjects. Under the agreement, Mexus will train and support St. Xavier’s teachers to introduce animation, videos, and other applications in their classrooms to capture, enhance and retain students’ interest. “The ultimate objective of education is to prepare students for the rapidly changing global economy and jobs market. Mexus Education works with schools across India to ensure children have access to effective, enabling education. This partnership with the St. Xavier’s Group is a milestone in taking technology education to the grassroots,” says Anil Goyal, director of Mexus Education. Adds Sandeep Kumar, director of the St. Xavier’s Group of schools (UP): “Our tried and tested best classroom practices supported by the Iken School ecosystem will stimulate children to use their creativity while learning.
