Pearson Schools today announced the launch of EduriteONE; a VSAT based Engineering and Medical Prep Program to be implemented at one of its schools, Gyansagar International School in Sohagpur, Madhya Pradesh via a live link from its dedicated studio in Bangalore.

Pearson’s EduriteOne is a remote delivery education service offering coaching for Entrance Exams and aims to help students engage in participatory sessions with peers and instructors, irrespective of their location. EduriteOne delivers sessions live to the school with state-of-the-art technology and a centralized monitoring system to track class sessions and student feedback.

Pearson Education Services, the parent company will facilitate the implementation of VSAT based program and will provide students staying in remote towns and semi-urban centres access to the best faculty available in the country.

Meena Ganesh, MD & CEO Pearson Education Services said on the occasion “The EduriteOne programme will help us to reach out to students in tier 2 and tier 3 locations so that no child is left behind. The introduction of the programme at Gyansagar International School will make high quality exam prep coaching available locally in the institutions premises. EduriteOne for Pearson Schools is yet another initiative which is in line with our vision of being a transformative learning enabler through innovative technology-led initiatives and we hope to provide a quality learning experience “

Pearson Schools is well placed to rapidly scale up offerings to students. Introduction of the VSAT enabled EduriteONE programme at Gyansagar International School in Sohagpur, M.P is yet another step in taking the fastest growing chain of schools to the next level. By virtue of this programme students can pursue their mainstream school curriculum and test prep courses as an integrated offering right inside their own school premises. Through effective use of VSAT technology, Pearson Schools will deliver standardized, high quality and cost effective test prep.

Pearson Schools will provide a reliable flow of exam prep delivery through the VSAT enabled EduriteONE program. Pearson’s high-end audio/visual technology replicates a real classroom learning environment using this technology. The broader objective is to overcome the shortage of platforms and teachers who are equipped to train students for higher education preparatory exams at various learning centers in remote locations.
