Slim Academy? Carlos Slim brings Khan Academy to LatAm
¿Hablas inglés? If the answer is no, help is at hand: Carlos Slim, the world’s richest man, has just signed an agreement to translate the Khan Academy’s online classes into Spanish.
Through his Carlos Slim Foundation, the largest of its kind in Latin America, the Mexican telecoms tycoon has pledged to support the now-famous online academy founded by Salman Khan and popularised on Youtube.
The educational videos on subjects such as mathematics and science have racked up more than 225m views so far and the Khan Academy’s youtube channel has 550,000 subscribers.
