Education for All: VRAcademi Partners with New Dreams Education Africa

The education scene has changed drastically during the pandemic, the inequities in availably as well as accessibility to quality education has become even clearer with the mandated shift to virtual learning. Many schools, particularly those in developing areas, were ill-equipped to swiftly transition to this e-learning mode. Luckily, this opportunity gap laid the foundation for innovators to provide timely and dynamic solutions that can help underserved communities leap-frog the existing educational shortcomings.

VRAcademi partners with New Dreams Education, Dream Africa Schools to bring affordable design and virtual reality education to children in east Africa. Education systems across the world, moreover in developing countries across Africa and Asia need to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of our modern society to create thinkers and innovators. We need to educate today’s learners with new and emerging tools where they learn how to create and not just consume the #technology. Sonal Ahuja, CEO of VRAcademi, reminds us that virtual reality is the new reality that promises you to create, connect and collaborate in making the world smaller.

Partnering with New Dreams Education Africa will make the design-oriented education and technology curriculum available to children in East Africa giving them a unique opportunity to fast track their creativity. They will acquire skills in creative design, digital art, immersive film making and 3D game development with VR. The program’s objective is to lay a strong creative and digital foundations for the children’s future careers. VRAcademi is now seeking global distributors of its VR design curriculum and programme.
