Transforming Education: The Hole in the Wall Project Empowering Indian Children

The Hole in the Wall project in New Delhi is an innovative IT experiment where computers are placed in public spaces to observe children's learning. Over five years, it has made 40,000 Indian children computer literate. The project faces challenges like gender disparity in urban areas. Children learn differently here compared to traditional schools. Funded by the World Bank and Indian government, it has 41 centers, mostly in remote areas. Researchers aim to expand the project, with interest from Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai.
