About Us
What is Alekhni?
Alekhni is a free and open-access educational resource project designed to empower young people by helping them practice reading complex texts and becoming independent free-learners. With the rise of fast-food-style, McDonaldized and centralized education, access to vital resources has been restricted to the privileged population. Knowledge has become a currency used to oppress people and exploit resources in this capitalistic system. The categorization of different educational levels does not help students operate on their true potentials and it’s often too late before they realize how the world operates and become cognizant of their rights and responsibilities. The easier to comprehend texts at lower levels and much complex ones at higher levels is meant for the system’s convenience and not for the students’ benefit. Alekhni challenges this pre-existing system and empowers youth by equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to explore reliable, credible, and valid literature, as well as to access a wealth of copyright-free and accessible resources. Our project is completely based on recycling and dwelling upon the pre-existing free-knowledge. Alekhni’s Readers’ Programme is open to all students and educators and does not have a discriminatory policy based on privilege or meritocracy (also privilege in disguise). We use holistic criteria to focus on students that can benefit the most from our resources.
Alekhni Readers’ Programme:
The Alekhni’s Readers’ Programme is a month-long programme helping students become deep readers and independent learners by providing them with the required support through participatory online sessions, access to valuable free resources, opportunities, and engaging activities.
Curriculums & Roadmaps:
Alekhni’s curriculums and roadmaps are meant to empower educators and self-learning students by providing them with a learning trajectory and free-access resources. Educators can also share with Alekhni the aims and goals of their course and we can create a customized student-centered list of viable texts and literature that could efficiently guide students in reaching their learning outcomes. Independent learners can find the various pre-designed curriculums on our website and can also join our discord server to request individually customized curriculum for their personal learning goals- we will try to provide individual attention to every learner to the best of our capabilities. Educators can send us an email on [email protected] to discuss their coursework with us.
