New Delhi: Vedantu, a pioneer in live online learning, has become the first and only EdTech player in India to make online learning completely safe and secure for 100,000 daily active students studying from home. This milestone has been achieved in collaboration with Space2Grow, a niche Social Impact consulting firm that specializes in child protection. The vision of this collaboration is to create a robust prevention and redressal mechanism across all the online and offline touch points, making online education safe for every child.

With the #ChildSafetyFirst initiative in place, Vedantu’s internal team will constantly monitor, control texts, pictures, and recordings so that students can experience safe, LIVE online learning. Vedantu is the only EdTech brand that offers a one-to-many LIVE learning model on its WAVE platform, where one Master Teacher can interact with up to 500 students in a single session.

Pulkit Jain, Co-founder and Product Head, Vedantu, said: “We have been two steps ahead in bringing interactivity and engagement to LIVE online learning for students across India. As a responsible and socially conscious brand, the safety of our learners and teachers is paramount and we are looking at setting new benchmarks for the industry.”

“Our partnership with Space2Grow will help us continue to chart that course by ensuring that we have the right expertise and execution capability when it comes to the critical area of child safety. Our highly competent Child Safety Team comprising legal experts and counsellors will closely work with the leadership team and Space2Grow team to uphold the safety of our learners and teachers at all times.”

Describing the initiative and the partnership, Chitra Iyer, Founder Space2Grow, said: “India has one in three children using the internet. The EdTech space currently caters to 90 million children – and with the pandemic, their online presence has exploded. More than we realize, both the vulnerability and safety of children who are consuming online content is an immediate reality to contend with. As a market leader, Vedantu can positively impact this area – and pioneer Child Safety as a mandate for the entire industry. We are very happy to partner with Vedantu on a journey to make online safety a fundamental right of every child.” /BI/
