How Can Technology Help in Overcoming the Gaps in Indian Education System? ‘Education is our fundamental right’ sounds like a familiar statement? However to your shock, as per Teach for India statistics, about 4 percent of our kids never start school. In fact 58 per cent don’t complete primary education, and 90 percent don’t complete school. Let us first understand the numerous gaps that our education system has and how technology can help resolve it successfully. Read on. Some of the common issues facing our education system are: Poor infrastructure - no clean drinking water, proper classroom, separate toilets for girls and boys, disabled friendly schools Lack of good teachers - Low-quality teaching professional in the school has given birth to coaching centers that have emerged to such your money, both in rural and urban areas. Costly education - The way coaching centers and tuitions are charging fee, parents have to take loans to pay the fee. The deficit of high-quality school education is the reason. Low pass rate - Despite of the efforts put in by teachers, and parents paying high fee at the tuitions, the pass rate is at an all time low. For instance, on an average a student spend like $1200 on coaching for clearing IIT JEE. However, only 5% of the 1.4 million applicants this year scored greater than 30% in the exam. This is alarming! The education sector is in deep trouble with the way things are moving. However, by leveraging technology we can certainly improve its current state. Let’s check out how.
