How Tech Is Changing The Education Sector

A few years back, in most Indian households, the use of technology for studying was a huge no-no. Our parents believed proper education can only be achieved by sitting in a classroom and studying from physical books and not from e-resources like PDFs. But with the lockdown due to Covid – 19 and everything switching from offline to online, people have been accepting online education and acknowledging the positive changes tech has brought in the field of education.

Technology has changed every part of our lives in the past few decades. From smart fridges to smartwatches, technology has levelled up the quality of our life. Hence it does not come as a surprise that tech has made some revolutionary changes in the field of education.

Academic Seriously

How technology can help in providing education:

  • Technology has made it possible for education to be accessed by everyone, even in the most remote places. People can access high-quality content with ease and can study at their convenience. There are several websites and software applications that contain information about every topic under the sun. Tech has brought all this data together, which can be accessed by a person within minutes.
  • Online education can be personalized according to the student. People can study at their own pace and can upgrade their skills. With online education, people can meet other people from all over the world connected through technology and learn more about diverse cultures.
  • Technology has not only made life easier for students but also for teachers. It provides a new platform for teachers and students to interact. Technology keeps a track of the content studied, and marks achieved in a test and provide a graph and analysis of the content that student was able to grasp. This is very useful as the teacher can help the student to identify weak spots and work on them so that the student can unlock his or her full potential.
  • Similarly, a tech-driven education system has proven to be of immense use to schools and organizations as it has helped cut down costs, as well provide the best material to the students.
  • Technology has made studying efficient, accessible and most of all, fun. Daily tasks and challenges, live partner challenges have gamified education which makes the student much more interested in learning. The use of shared documents and workspaces encourages peer learning with students all over the world. This helps in collaborative learning.

Guide To Education

Majorly, educated people seem to carry off better paying jobs with a sense of security. Undoubtedly the term “education” and the way it works has been updating and evolving on a timely basis but simultaneously, it’s also being commercialized. It’s not very openly confronted but it is being a sad reality of the society we live wherein certain schools, colleges/universities try their hands out on grabbing as much funds as possible without fulfilling the promises it made during admissions opening or advertising.

Reality check

The education world is not all glamorous that it portrays. We often get a reality check for the same when we are the ones experiencing it. Due to this, it altogether widens the gap between the lower, middle and upper classes. How is it fair that someone from lower class with an excellent caliber does not make it to a top university but someone from an upper class with average scores or immoral discipline makes it through? Instead of marks, it should depend on how deserving and abled one is.

EDUCATION IN OUR LIVES

More about exams:

Exams surely play quite an imperative role in education but the system should not solely consider them as an epitome of positioning where we stand in life. It’s unfortunate how often people associate us with our marks since apparently, our education runs on that. Sometimes, we aren’t seen beyond our marks. “A single sheet of paper does not define our future” is a commonly heard phrase by each of us but does it stand true when it comes to getting eminence education? As much as being educated is a must, so is being wise and accountable enough for our deeds as maturity doesn’t always come with education but with experience.

Ignorance about any form of education is not bliss, especially sexual health – it’s a heavy burden that robs people of their innocence and often leads to disastrous consequences. To prevent this from happening, empowering young people with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions about their sexuality is the need of the hour. Providing comprehensive sex education in schools is one way to do this, and it is a crucial step in breaking the shackles of ignorance around sex. Remember making way to knowledge is the ultimate recipe to great bliss. Concluding, it isn’t something which could be counted at the cost of compromising humanity.
