New Delhi, February 23, 2026: Bharti Airtel Foundation has partnered with global nonprofit CK-12 Foundation to integrate over 45 AI-enabled teaching tools into TheTeacherApp, a digital learning platform currently used by more than 2 lakh educators across India.
The updated version of TheTeacherApp introduces AI-supported tools designed to assist teachers across K–12 grades and subjects. The platform aims to provide real-time classroom support, access to contextual learning resources, and workflow-based assistance aligned with India’s school education framework.
The initiative is positioned within the broader objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The AI-enabled tools are intended to support lesson preparation, content discovery, and adaptive instructional practices across classrooms.
Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Education of India, said, “The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has given us a clear roadmap to transform education, and our focus remains on supporting teachers every step of the way. Teachers need quality resources that meet the diverse needs of every learner at every grade level, and today AI is no longer a luxury - it is a necessity. This initiative marks a transformative step in leveraging technology to empower our educators. Having been part of TheTeacherApp’s launch in 2024, it is inspiring to witness this next step supporting the integration of AI into the classrooms across India."
Shri Rakesh Bharti Mittal, Vice-Chairman of Bharti Enterprises and Co-Chairman of the Bharti Airtel Foundation, said, “Teachers are the architects of India’s future, and NEP 2020 rightly places them at the center of our nation’s educational transformation. In just 15 months since its launch in 2024, TheTeacherApp has engaged over 2 lakh + educators with hundreds of hours of quality content and learning experiences, reflecting a strong demand among teachers for continuous growth. Today, with our collaboration with CK12, we are expanding the teacher’s toolkit by embedding intelligent classroom resources so that educators can spend less time on preparation and more on inspiring young minds. At a time when India is embracing Viksit Bharat@2047, this initiative reflects how thoughtfully integrated AI can strengthen teachers’ ability to reach every learner and support the country’s long-term goal of equitable, future-ready education.”
Ms. Neeru Khosla, Co-Founder and Executive Director of CK-12, added, “AI in education is no longer optional. Teachers today need adaptive, intelligent support tools that truly understand classroom realities. This partnership allows us to combine TheTeacherApp’s scale with CK-12’s technology leadership to deliver meaningful, future-ready support for every teacher.”
TheTeacherApp currently offers more than 2,500 hours of training content, including modules on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), digital literacy, child safety, and collaborative teacher engagement. The AI integration expands its capabilities to provide classroom-aligned support across grades and subjects.
