If you think about it, the driving forces of our future aren’t just sitting in boardrooms or strategy meets but also happen to be sitting in classrooms right now. With over 260 million students, India has the largest school-going population in the world. This young and ambitious lot will soon be on the road to India’s economic and social development. This makes people who impart the learning, their teachers, absolutely “essential and critical”. While the world had its lens focussed on the pandemic, the past year posed a multitude of challenges for the education sector. According to UNESCO, the learning journeys of over a billion learners were disrupted due to pandemic closures. With the virus spreading at unprecedented rates, the future of learning stood at a crossroads. However, human ingenuity came quickly to the rescue; and we collectively realised that to prevent the negative long-term effects of this disruption in education, we had to implement technology.
