What it’s for
The team started from a hard number: according to UNICEF, only 61% of children with disabilities aged 5 to 19 in India attend school. The model watches for emotion and behaviour patterns during online classes and surfaces students who may be struggling.
Why it was hardThe framing mattered as much as the model: the output is a prompt for a teacher to check in, not a grade for a student.
