More than just a solution, his book serves as a call for free, universal, global education, and an explanation of how his simple - yet revolutionary - method can help achieve this inspiring goal". In The One World Schoolhouse, Khan will present his remarkable story, as well as his vision for the future of education. Schools seek his advice about connecting to students in a digital age, and people of all ages and backgrounds flock to the site to utilize this new approach to learning. And his breakthrough idea has become his life's passion. Like all great innovators, Sal Khan established himself as an outsider, with no teaching background to tie him to broken models. Today, millions have viewed and subscribed to the Khan Academy's YouTube videos, which have expanded to encompass nearly every conceivable subject. That really makes Khan Academy different," he added."A free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere: this is the goal of the Khan Academy, a passion project that grew from an ex-hedge funder's online tutoring sessions with his niece, who was struggling with algebra, into a worldwide phenomenon. "If you try to find free resources, particularly in Hindi, and of a high quality, it is non-existent. Khan Academy allows internalisation of the content and there are elements of gamification," said Ashish Dhawan, founder and chairman of the Central Square Foundation. "The content that is available has been developed for a particular market, which is sterile. The content too, the NGO claims is of a higher quality than of any free resource especially for a vernacular language found in India. It already says that for mathematics, the NCERT curriculum in India is quite similar to the one in the United States.
Khan Academy is working on aligning the curriculum with that of India. Globally, it estimates to cross 20 million users by the end of the month. In 2012, it had around 2.1 million users, and by the end of 2015 it estimates more than 8 million users in India. The NGO is anticipating a 3X growth in India, despite not having a particular focus on the market. Khan Academy is already seeing a lot of organic traction in India.
