New Delhi, October 16, 2025: EnglishHelper Education Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (EnglishHelper) has announced a strategic partnership with Headword Publishing Company Pvt. Ltd. (Headword), part of ABP Education, to integrate AI-powered learning solutions into school curricula across India. The collaboration aims to reach 400,000 students in 7,000 schools, strengthening foundational English literacy and introducing AI-enabled subject learning for improved comprehension and outcomes.
As part of the partnership, EnglishHelper’s Reading & Comprehension Assistant (RCA)—an AI-based English learning tool—will be embedded in Headword’s NCERT-aligned educational textbooks. The initiative seeks to make high-quality digital learning accessible to students across diverse communities by combining structured pedagogy with advanced technology.
The RCA platform allows students to practise listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar using their syllabus content. It provides instant feedback, enabling learners to monitor progress and improve. Teachers will also receive complimentary access to support classroom instruction. Students can access grade-appropriate material via a low-cost annual subscription, ensuring affordability and scalability.
In addition to English learning, the partnership introduces AI-powered Subject-Based Learning (SBL), beginning with the Science Series for Grades 3 to 8. This approach enables students to learn subjects in their preferred language, improving comprehension and inclusivity for learners with limited English proficiency. The pilot program will inform future expansion across additional subjects and grades.
Commenting on the collaboration, Deepak Verma, CEO of EnglishHelper, said,
“The collaboration with Headword is a significant step forward in our mission to democratize English learning. By embedding RCA into Headword’s trusted ecosystem, we are ensuring that students from all communities can access high-quality, affordable English education. With SBL, students who are less proficient in English can also learn their subjects with extensive mother-tongue support, making education more inclusive and enabling across-the-board improvement in learning outcomes.”
Yash Mehta, CEO of ABP Education, added,
“This collaboration marks a transformational moment for education in India. By offering RCA and the pioneering SBL, students will not only strengthen their English literacy but also gain the ability to learn other subjects in the language of their choice. This dual focus on language and subject comprehension represents the future of inclusive education. Together, Headword and EnglishHelper are shaping a learning ecosystem that is innovative, accessible, and aligned with the aspirations of 21st-century learners.”
Mahesh Srivastava, President of Headword Publishing, said,
“Headword has always believed in combining strong pedagogy with innovation. Our partnership with EnglishHelper empowers teachers and students with future-ready tools. With the introduction of SBL, we are opening new pathways for students to study in the language they are most comfortable with, leading to stronger understanding and better learning outcomes.”
Through this collaboration, EnglishHelper and Headword reaffirm their shared commitment to technology-driven, inclusive education that supports the goals of NEP 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework (NCF). The initiative aims to build a more equitable and digitally enabled learning environment for India’s next generation of students.
