New Delhi CuriousJr, a mobile-based coding education platform for K12 students that offers students to learn code through mobile phones who do not have access to laptops, steps into the market with prevalent languages like Telugu and Tamil in the month of September. The app had previously been provided to learn to code in English and Hindi, now CuriousJr wanted to focus on users in the south as well.

 

Approximately 40k students are currently learning in the southern states, and the number is steadily rising. The future objective is to broaden the mode of communication in other languages as well. CuriousJr assists in presenting their education mode in vernacular language as teaching in the native language is an easy method, helps the students learn faster. This step is a successful part of the vision to continue the emphasis on education with ease of access that CuriousJr has maintained since its inception.

 

Launching the curriculum in the user’s native language has always been a more detailed overview for CuriousJr, which is continuing as a success, and this approach will assist the users to understand the topics in a better way.

Since over 70% of customers prefer to learn in their mother tongue, we anticipate launching a few more vernacular languages in the near future, including Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, and Oriya.
