South Korea based TagHive Inc., a Samsung funded education technology firm, which is actively engaged in building technology to improve classrooms for teachers and students, announced a collaborative partnership with Pratham Education Foundation to implement TagHive’s flagship ‘Class Saathi’ learning and assessment solution in Baghpat and Bulandshahr districts of Uttar Pradesh.
Class Saathi is the world’s first AI powered and Bluetooth clicker-based solution that revolutionizes teaching methodologies, personalizes learning experiences and streamlines administrative processes.
Jayant Chaudhary, Minister of State (I/C) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Minister of State for Education, virtually inaugurated the Class Saathi initiative at UPS Ahaira Composite School, Baghpat, last month.
Through this partnership, TagHive and Pratham have committed to collaborating on teacher training programs and developing modules that encompass technology integration, innovative pedagogical approaches, content-pedagogy alignment and encouraging socio-emotional learning and development of 21st century skills among learners. The partnership’s first phase will cover 50 schools and 2,500 students and over the next five years, the project is designed to scale to 1,000 schools, enabling wider access to technology-driven learning in Uttar Pradesh.
Both partners will also be implementing community outreach programmes and events to create awareness of Class Saathi solution, simultaneously focusing on collaborative research and impact assessment.
TagHive Founder & CEO Pankaj Agarwal highlighted, “Class Saathi utilises Bluetooth-based clicker devices, curriculum-aligned digital content, and real-time AI-powered analytics dashboards to boost classroom engagement and offer instant feedback on student performance. Class Saathi is a very robust platform to address challenges related to student engagement, assessment continuity, and teacher empowerment in rural and semi-urban schools. No child will be left behind now, even the quietest backbenchers can now participate in the classroom.”
Class Saathi is currently being used in over 15,000 classrooms across 10 countries worldwide, including South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Chile and South Africa. Its introduction in Uttar Pradesh marks a significant step in adapting global EdTech innovations for Indian classrooms.
Talking of the partnership, Pratham’s Program Head Shubhendu Chakravorty said, “Pratham’s partnership with TagHive is about exploring how technology can complement what happens in classrooms every day. Class Saathi offers exciting new ways for teachers to engage with students and for students to participate more actively in learning. We see our role as leveraging our experience and understanding of working with local communities and an outcome-based approach to ensure that such innovations are contextualised and integrated meaningfully into the teaching-learning journey. Together, we aim to show how technology and pedagogy can reinforce each other to strengthen learning outcomes.”
