Despite an increasing literacy rate, is every Indian getting the education that the current times demand? Is the quality of education we impart up to the mark?
Sadly, the answer is ‘NO’.
Despite the 2020-2021 EdTech revolution, the Indian education system continues to face many issues, including compromised quality, rural-urban gap, high cost for quality education, etc. People who cannot afford high-fee institutes end up with a sub-par education that doesn’t let them acquire the skills or knowledge they want.
As per ASER, around 50% of students of the 5th standard from rural schools cannot read a text meant for junior classes. Rural regions are the most affected in education. The reasons behind the lag are the insufficient number of schools, commuting problems, poor infrastructure, lack of well-trained teachers, and unaffordable education.
With the uncertainty of school shut-downs, the pandemic has aggravated the situation. Education for the rural sector and the lower-income sector has suffered the most. Lack of resources and knowledge to make the digital shift came across as one of the prime reasons for many school children to drop their education.
Apart from school education, students preparing for competitive exams and job-related exams have dropped their education plans due to the high fee expenses in these difficult times. The continuous lockdowns and restrictions have resulted in a massive income and health shock for many rural households.
Many EdTech solutions have surfaced to help learners in these difficult times. The best thing about EdTech solutions is that the quality of education remains the same irrespective of regions. With many options at hand, people can choose the best fit for their learning needs as per their budgets.
