AP Govt Inks Deal with Canva for Visual Communication in Govt Schools

The Andhra Pradesh government has inked a deal with Canva to provide free access to the visual communication and design platform for all public school students in the state. 

The deal was struck on June 18 between the Education Department, Samagra Siksha and Canva, which will also benefit teachers and Education Department officials.

"Andhra Pradesh has become the first state in India to facilitate statewide access to Canva for Education for all government school students, teachers and education department officials," an official release said on



Saturday.

Through this partnership, students will gain access to world-class tools that enable them to create presentations, projects, infographics, videos, graphics and other visual learning content. 

It will help them to develop essential digital, communication, design-thinking and problem-solving skills required in the 21st-century economy.

Based on technical feasibility, Canva will be integrated with the government's LEAP (Learning Excellence in Andhra Pradesh) App, Google workspace ecosystem and chromebooks being deployed in schools.
