Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO has donated $5 million to e-learning platform Khan Academy. Sal Khan, Founder, Khan Academy in a video posted on Twitter said he wants to give a huge shout and thank you to Elon Musk and everyone at the Musk foundation.
Khan said, "For their credible generous support for Khan Academy, they just recently gave a $5 million donation to Khan academy. This is going to allow us to accelerate all sorts of content and engage millions of students around the world. We have about 200 million hours of learning. I view this type of investment in what we're doing is really foundational for us to be able to build a multi generational institution, so that future Elon Musks of the world are also able to tap into their potential.”
As millions of kids take online school classes from home globally including in India, the government along with the private education sector have a great responsibility to offer online e-Learning to more than 60 million college students and 1.5 billion school students worldwide.
Khan Academy has 120 million registered users and 20 to 30 million students are using the platform every month. It was founded as a non-profit in the US in 2008 and focuses on creating a set of online tools that help educate students, by creating short lessons in the form of videos.
