#Ed-Tech #Scope #Online_Education
The Central government is currently aiming to push the heights of higher education by incorporating online education within its framework. It involves projects that encourage higher education institutions in India to adopt online education facilities.
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) as well as the Education Ministry brought in 48 Ed-tech firms in 2021. The aim is to bring efficient technological solutions to educational institutions.
Both the business to business as well as the business-to-customer space will be enhanced in this effort. The aim is to bring both online courses as well as assessments to higher education institutions.
The courses that have been encouraged include professional courses including those like coding. It will also include career support. The choices for both students as well as executives will be increased. Hence, the push is also aimed at bringing students to pursue self-learning exercises.
It opens an important area up where both the government and private entities are brought together for better tech adoption in higher education. The combination is poised to boost the education sector manifold.
The move is not out of the blue but is compatible with the National Education Policy’s agenda of adopting and promoting technology in the higher education space. The idea is simply to bring the skills of students on par with the standard that the industry demands of them.
The content of the courses is to promote highly marketable skills that are niche to the student’s goals. There will be certification courses, lab tools, learning games, finance, as well as management, among other courses.
The space is also poised at promoting internship support as well as career counseling.
The potential and scope of Ed-tech in higher education have only been increasing lately. The range of courses on offer as well as the splendid collaborations to come are plenty.
