Ed-tech Revolutionizing Developing Countries


As we know, technology has a huge impact on the future of education. Moreover, online education for developing countries such as India, Jamaica, Brazil, and so many other countries, are experiencing numerous benefits from online education. For example, traditional education in these developing countries has been lacking. According to the 2019 National Employability Report for Engineers, it reports that 37% of Indian engineers have failed to write an error free code in comparison to only 10% of Chinese engineers. Not to mention, a lot of students from these developing countries are deemed as "unfit" for jobs and any professional positions with high end companies. However, Ed-tech has been known to solve many problems in the education system that "traditional education" just can't. 


Here are just three of them!

 

1. Interview Bit. This e-learning platform is known for preparing students with the skills and knowledge needed for future interviews at tech-giants like Facebook and Amazon. The platform is very useful for preparing students in the job field as well.

2. UpGrad. This EdTech is partnered up with international universities across the world and it offers students from developing countries, courses in technologies such as Data Science, Blockchain, and digital marketing.



3. Embibe. This platform is known for helping students prepare for competitive exams such as NEET, BITSAT, and AIIMS. The program specializes in personalizing the learning experience for students, so that they can enhance their understanding and knowledge.
