About Eduweave

Mission

New media technologies are poised to influence education and potentially change the very definition of ‘schools’ as we know it today. However millions of children and youth around the world are not able to benefit from these innovations due to limited access to technology, poor instructional design, insufficient localized content, lack of relevant curriculum and paucity of skilled teachers and facilitators. Eduweave is committed to creating products and services that address these barriers and meet the needs of underserved learners in both developed and developing countries.
