Edtech in India
What Edtech Is
Education technology uses apps, video and software to teach, test and manage learning, from school tutoring to professional courses.
Edtech covers digital tools for learning: video lessons, live classes, practice apps, testing platforms and learning management systems.
Segments
K-12 tutoring, test prep, higher education, upskilling and language learning.
Why India
A huge student population, a shortage of good teachers and cheap data.
Two ideas
Improve access to quality teaching, and let learners study at their own pace.
A recorded lesson
A student in a small town watches a top teacher's video that would otherwise be available only in a big city.
Assuming edtech replaces teachers
Most learning still depends on human support.
Key takeaways
- Edtech uses digital tools for learning.
- India has a huge market.
- It aims to widen access.
