Thanks so much Krishna for your great "Powerup with Advance Google Sheets Functions" from Agra India, Google Educator Groups GEG Agra (& GEG Ahmedabad), & the Army Public School Agra this morning (at 4:30 am Pacific Time in the SF Bay Area), and great to meet you a bit beforehand. And thanks for sharing the G Sheets' lists of students filterable to highest achieving, their emails, their houses, etc. in the Army Public School Agra.
Seeing your data leads met to ask:
How might World University and School with Google Sheets and GEG Agra and GEG Ahmedabead and the Army Public School Agra -
https://www.armypublicschoolagra.com/ - and the Rosary School Rajkot begin to offer online free WUaS degrees from home to Indian students at India World University and School first in Hindi (official language of Agra in Uttar Pradesh I think) and English -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India - and then in all 22 regional/scheduled languages ... building on MIT OpenCourseWare's more than 2500 courses in English -
https://ocw.mit.edu/ - and MIT OCW in these other languages too -
https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ ? How might we begin to offer these free online WUaS degree programs possibly beginning around this September 1, 2026, a Tuesday, to possibly Army Public School Agra and Rosary School Rajkot India students (or possibly to thousands (or tens of thousands of top and interested too Indian high school graduates from Army Public Schools, and other high achieving and academic public schools and high schools) all around India, first in Hindi and English - and with your knowledge, Krishna, of Google Sheets and Indian students and other Army Public Schools and Google Educator Groups too, and with WUaS in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program?
Usha (Iyer, at Stanford as Faculty Director of the Center for South Asia -
https://art.stanford.edu/people/usha-iyer), and Santosh, and Sid/Pin, how might we grow such an Indian WUaS academic faculty for this to teach first year undergraduates for free 4 year BA / BS and 2 year AA / AS degrees beginning possibly as soon as September 1, 2026 with students Krishna might help WUaS matriculate? Might Stanford graduate students and postdocs from India become many of these WUaS faculty even - and possibly teach 1st year and introductory courses from these ~42 majors -
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/? And how to begin to translate in helpful ways
https://ocw.mit.edu/ say into initially Hindi, Gujarati and Tamil (and re Sundar Pichai) and then all 22 official languages of India (building on
https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/) and where the translation into Indian languages will be a different process culturally, and with many jobs and with World University and School becoming a big employer in India too?
Best regards, Namaste, Yogically, thank you!,
Scott
I blogged about this today, April 18, 2026 -
PS
I see that there are many Army public schools in India ... and perhaps Friendly Quaker Peace Testimony informed and Yoga informed World University and School can give a new meaning to defense in India and via knowledge generation - first or initially for GEG Agra and GEG Ahmedabead and the Army Public School Agra and the Rosary School students :
Which is the No 1 Army public school in India?
APS Bolarum is Ranked No. 1 Defence Day School in India, Telangana & Secunderabad by C-fore National Award 2025. 3. The School has been a recipient of NSA Educational Excellence Award 2025.
