Students in India are working online with 200 “grannies” across the globe as part of an education initiative aimed at helping children learn. The School in the Cloud project sees women from Britain, France and other countries volunteer an hour each day to talk to students in India via Skype.

The project was established in Newcastle by Professor Sugata Mitra.
