The week's news, turned into a class children remember.
Every week Knowledge Capsules takes the biggest stories in the world and turns them into a forty minute story-led class. Not a worksheet of headlines to memorise, a class children carry home and argue about at dinner. It runs in nearly 150 schools across India.
News, told as a story.
The biggest story of the week
We pick the one story that matters most this week and build the class around it, from the science of a rocket launch to why an election result changes lives.
The context behind it
Children get the why, not just the what. The history, the geography and the idea behind the headline, so the news finally makes sense.
A question to argue about
Every class ends on a question with no easy answer, the kind children keep debating after the bell has gone.
In classrooms every week.
A class your teachers never have to prepare.
A trained educator
A Knowledge Capsules educator delivers the class in person or live online, with the visuals, the story and the questions ready to go.
Every single week
One class a week, about forty minutes, timed to the news, so children always have this week's world, not last month's textbook.
No load on your staff
Nothing to plan, mark or prepare. It slots into the timetable and gives your teachers a period back.
Free in government schools, 2 rupees in private schools.
In private and institutional schools the class is costed at just 2 rupees per child per week. In West Bengal government schools it is delivered completely free, funded by CSR partners under Department of Education permission.

Common questions.
Everything a school asks before it starts the weekly current affairs class.
What is a current affairs class at Knowledge Capsules?
Every week we take the biggest national and world stories and turn them into a forty minute story-led class. Children get the context behind the headline, not a list of facts to memorise, so they remember it and can talk about it.
Which children is it for?
It runs for school children across the primary and middle years. The same story is pitched differently by age, so a younger class and an older class both follow it.
How often does it run and how long is a class?
Once every week, about forty minutes, roughly 48 classes across the school year, one for each week of news.
Do our teachers have to prepare anything?
No. A trained Knowledge Capsules educator brings the whole class, the story, the visuals and the questions. It adds nothing to your teachers' load.
How much does it cost?
In private and institutional schools it is costed at 2 rupees per child per week, about 100 rupees per child for the year. In government schools it is free, funded by CSR partners.
