As part of HP’s commitment to deliver technology based education solutions across rural India, HP and liqvid signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver liqvid’s unique bilingual EnglishEdge software through the HP lab-in-Box network.
liqvid specialises in the area of English language training through a combination of content, technology and services offerings. It’ll be responsible for providing the relevant content, conduct train-the-trainer programmes and extend its offering to all future HP lab-in-Box projects.
It’ll also promote the cloud based HP lIFE e-learning program across its customer base that will help students and entrepreneurs learn IT and business skills. This collaboration will increase awareness of this advanced collaboration and training programme to nearly 300,000 additional learners and provide access to HP lIFE e-learning at all of liqvid’s study centres. liqvid’s customers include IIT Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Educomp and British Council among others.
As part of its Vision 2020 plan, the Government is looking to increase the gross enrollment ratio in schools to 30 per cent. Innovative technology solutions will play a vital role in enabling this increase in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.
“The response to HP’s lab-in-Box and HP lIFE e-learning programmes over the last two years has been tremendous and encouraging. We remain focused on our goal of using technology to extend the reach of education in remote parts of the country and to include a diverse and rich content and solution offering set that complements our technology infrastructure. The partnership with liqvid helps us in this goal in providing flexible English language and entrepreneurship classes in rural India”, Dr Jaijit Bhattacharya, director, Government advisory, South Asia HP, said.
