CK-12 Foundation is turning school Textbooks (from
Kindergarten to 12th grade) into Flexbooks; books that are
flexible and free online. This futuristic approach will transform
the learning and teaching process worldwide by ensuring
quality and consistency in education. In this interview Neeru
Khosla explains how, as a mother of school going children
she saw a critical need for such books and learning material
for children which could easily be customized.
Neeru Khosla and her husband Vinod Khosla are well-known
philanthropists and one of the 40 Billionaire families in the
U.S. who have pledged to give half of their wealth to charity,
as part of the Giving Pledge, a campaign launched by Warren
Buffett and Bill Gates urging the rich to make a moral
commitment to making the world a better place.
