NEW DELHI, INDIA: DataWind, developer of wireless web access products, and manufacturers of low cost PC Tablets has signed a strategic partnership with US based not-for-profit education content provider CK12 to provide Indian customers great high quality free math and science material that can be used by teachers, students, schools and parents.

Through this agreement, CK-12 will come pre-installed on most DataWind devices so users will have access to high quality math and science learning material at their fingertips for free.

DataWind CEO - Suneet Singh Tuli said, "Our aim is to enable and equip every student in India with implements of learning that spawn interest in higher academic achievement - in this case the tablet PC, but the hardware itself is not enough to serve the purpose of empowerment."

According to DataWind, Indian education systems have reached an inflection point to leverage technology in education to cater to the always on and more informed student/digital consumer and the company believes low cost mobile and computing devices will play a critical role in this digital learning transformation.

"Access to high quality education for primary and secondary schools shouldn't be limited. At CK-12 we provide the content that can be accessed anytime, anywhere to improve learning," says Neeru Khosla, executive director of CK-12 Foundation.
