Samsung Smart School is Samsung’s education-oriented global citizenship program aiming to foster the young leaders of tomorrow by enabling digital learning for students. The program begins at 10 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) schools in India this year, including Faridabad. Students at JNV Faridabad will be provided access to new digital learning opportunities and innovative technology to elevate their level of education.

Together, Samsung and teachers are opening new doors for the less privileged students of India, transforming their learning environment.

Bridging the digital divide

Ms. Anita Gupta is a teacher at JNV Faridabad, who has seen the digital changes made at the school since the setup of Samsung Smart Class. “There were only five to six computers that were working here in the school. I could not see technology anywhere. Smart Class was set up by Samsung, and it was a blessing.”

“The goal of Smart School in India is to bridge the digital divide,” added Ms. Gupta. “The students will gain confidence as they hone their digital skills through Samsung Smart School. I’m thankful to Samsung for making this possible, that we’re able to give the very best to our students.” Through the latest digital learning infrastructure and immersive educational content, Smart School seeks to empower the next generation to help them reach their full potential and get closer to their dreams.

Equal opportunities for growth

Samsung Smart School also provides regular teacher training. Ms. Gupta highlighted, “Through continuous communication with the teachers, Samsung solves technical difficulties that could arise in the classroom and helps to improve the quality of education for students.”

Samsung Smart School offers various devices that can be used by students and teachers alike. Classrooms are equipped with Samsung Flip interactive digital boards and Galaxy Tabs, as well as basic devices like printers, PCs, and power backups. “All devices are very useful, but my favorite is the Flip, which gives a visual experience to the students,” said Ms. Gupta. “We can zoom in and out and explain things further, and whatever I’m writing on the board can be saved.”

Samsung’s commitment to ‘enable people’ through Smart School has seen an increase in the total number of students. Ms. Gupta said, “Equal opportunity to learn and grow is what students need. I hope more students in rural areas benefit from Samsung Smart School and get proper education in better environments.”
