Chekhov Authoring Platform – The Importance of Being Language Agnostic

Twitt

The Chekhov Authoring Platform was designed from the onset to allow for the breadth of the world to be able to learn to read regardless of language.

The primary goal is to increase the number of readers by 100 million by 2020, through the growth of literate communities and local partner ecosystems in multiple languages.

With the primary notion of educating  and developing individuals literacy skills, regardless of language, another goal came to mind.

The secondary, but very important goal, is to assist in the preserving and evangelizing of minority languages. From an estimated 7013 languages spoken on the planet, 95% of these are spoken by less than 100,000 people.

Preserving these languages and having access to literacy resources in their own language, which are representative of their own cultures, is an urgent need for these communities.

The Chekhov team is proud to be able to assist in both of these goals!
