In light of the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, BYJU’S on Wednesday announced that it will be providing free access to its complete app to school students till the end of April. This announcement comes after the government led advisory for schools to remain closed to safeguard the health of students.
Students across classes 1-12 can download and access BYJU’S learning programs for free until the end of April. Students in classes 1-3 can access math and English lessons and students in classes 4-12 can learn math and science concepts on the BYJU’S app. Considering the rigour of the exam season, access to the learning program will further assist and help students continue with their preparation for the year-end examinations.
Students can download BYJU’S-The Learning App and The Disney. BYJU'S Early Learn App for free from the Play Store and gain access to the entire library of BYJU’S educational content.
