Education has a crucial role to play in the development of a person, and subsequently, the entire nation. The year 2020  been the most challenging for all of as several businesses collapsed including the education sector.

But the influence of technology in education marked the era of E-Learning called EdTech. Technology is a powerful tool that can support and transform education in many ways. Technology has also begun to change the roles of teachers and learners. Ed Tech like VR can contribute significantly towards the development of Indian Education system. Keeping the current trend continue, education sector is all set to enter into 2021 by adopting technology as the new normal. Though it’s not certain if the coming year will be pandemic-free or not, but technology is the key to unlock enormous opportunities for different & innovative career option thus, enabling the world to embrace possibilities.

Bringing out the hope for Education Industry, which saw huge downfall considering all education institutes were closed,  Ed Tech Company Klip VR’s  Founder Mr. Rishi Ahuja,  said “The start-up industry suffered massively during this Covid-19 pandemic and sector specific impact was clear. This fact could be easily examined through a survey reports published by FICCI which depicted that 70% of the start-ups were heavily affected due to this pandemic & incurred significant losses. The start-up industry will eventually heal in India with the growth of certain sectors such as the Healthcare & Medical sector, FMCG, Food tech, Workout & EdTech. These particular sectors will lay down the very foundations upon which the start-up industry will rebuild itself. I am not sure who’s going to lead the race in 2021 but it’s going to be a tough road ahead in 2021 also, but at the same time, we hope the year will be about revival and growth as world seems to be going in right direction in controlling the pandemic and in vaccination drive”.

Ms Shammi Pant, Co-Founder of myJen.ai said “We think the year 2020 can be called the defining year for implementation of technology in HR.  If HR needed an impetus to boost and accelerate the rate of technology adoption, then 2020 gave it many reasons to do so. As we step into 2021, we believe HR must provide the right platform for its organization for transitioning into a remote or a distributed team structure effectively and enable on the job, personalised and just in time learning solutions to help employees’ transition into a more agile and flexible work culture. Given the vast amount of data HR including L&D has, it is imperative for HR leaders to start using the data analytics capabilities offered by AI augmented analytics platforms. If harvested well this data can answer critical questions like correlation of performance to propensity to learn and rate of upskilling.”
