Chronic Education vs. Future Technologies Purnima Pandey

Governments around the world imposing extended periods of lockdown in a bid to contain the spread of pandemic, UNESCO believes that over one and a half billion school or college learners are now stuck at home. Being stuck at home, doesn't mean that students cannot continue to learn. Advancements in technology have enabled remote learning opportunities. For many young learners, digital courses and online collaboration platforms have become the only way they can continue to learn. Advancements in technology have enabled remote learning opportunities and may even allow students to complete their education on schedule. The success stories of education platforms in India will likely pave the way for similar start-ups in other parts of the world. This will be especially true in Latin America, Africa and south-East Asia, where rising incomes and internet penetration will likely bring students to digital learning platforms for the very first time. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic should further accelerate the process, making online learning a household staple even long after the pandemic. This is the high time to check our current / chronic education system and to see where it is in line with the future technological changes? So the book is all about getting deep into the evaluation process and see whether current education system will get us somewhere or it need to get a complete overhauling.
