- EnglishHelper’s AI powered English literacy solution, RCA, will be made available to all students of Headword’s widely distributed NCERT-aligned educational textbooks.
- The partnership will also introduce the novel AI-based approach to Subject-Based Learning (SBL), empowering students to learn their subjects with extensive mother-tongue support.
Delhi, 16th October: English Helper Education Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (EnglishHelper) and Headword Publishing Company Pvt. Ltd. (Headword) have signed a landmark agreement to transform English-based learning for school students across India.
Through this collaboration, EnglishHelper’s Reading & Comprehension Assistant (RCA) program – an AI-powered, English learning solution – will be integrated into Headword’s widely distributed NCERT-aligned educational textbooks. The initiative aims to reach over 400,000 students in 7,000 schools, offering them access to engaging, curriculum-oriented technology-enabled tools that improve students’ foundational English literacy skills.
As part of the agreement, students will receive access to their grade-appropriate learning material. Students can practise listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar in the context of their syllabus, using RCA. Students receive instant feedback allowing them to understand what they have to do to improve. Students have the option of buying the complete set of grade-appropriate learning material at an affordable annual fee. Teachers will also receive complimentary access to support classroom instruction.
In addition, the partnership introduces AI-powered Subject-Based Learning (SBL), starting with the Science Series for Grades 3 to 8. SBL empowers students to learn their subjects in the language of their choice, enhancing comprehension and improving learning outcomes across the board. SBL leverages RCA’s proven learning science features for learning all subjects. Offered to students through an affordable subscription model, the SBL pilot will enable both organizations to assess uptake and plan for expansion across subjects and grades in the coming years.
Speaking on the partnership, Deepak Verma, CEO of EnglishHelper, said, “The collaboration with Headword is a significant step forward in our mission to democratize English learning. By embedding RCA into Headword’s trusted ecosystem, we are ensuring that students from all communities can access high-quality, affordable English education. With SBL, students who are less proficient in English can also learn their subjects with extensive mother-tongue support, making education more inclusive and enabling across-the-board improvement in learning outcomes.”
Yash Mehta, CEO of ABP Education, said, “This collaboration marks a transformational moment for education in India. By offering RCA and the pioneering SBL, students will not only strengthen their English literacy but also gain the ability to learn other subjects in the language of their choice. This dual focus on language and subject comprehension represents the future of inclusive education. Together, Headword and EnglishHelper are shaping a learning ecosystem that is innovative, accessible, and aligned with the aspirations of 21st-century learners.”
Mahesh Srivastava, President of Headword Publishing, added, “Headword has always believed in combining strong pedagogy with innovation. Our partnership with EnglishHelper empowers teachers and students with future-ready tools. With the introduction of SBL, we are opening new pathways for students to study in the language they are most comfortable with, leading to stronger understanding and better learning outcomes.”
This collaboration reflects the shared vision of EnglishHelper and Headword to harness technology, purposeful partnerships, and innovation to reshape learning outcomes for India’s next generation.
