4 key education trends of 2019 you need to watch out for

India Today  

The value of education in any society is uncontested -- in fact, its relevance in today's world is possibly far greater compared to most aspects of human life. We expect 2019 to be an interesting year for education in India -- several trends of previous years will pan out strongly and hopefully accelerate India's march towards becoming a 'knowledge economy'. Growth of integrated learning solutions While on one hand, it is fascinating to see schools -- mainly in urban centres -- adopt technology with alacrity, a very large number has yet to experience its benefits owing to connectivity and infrastructure issues, and therefore rely on the traditional 'chalk and talk' model of education. Integrated learning solutions that seamlessly combine print books with digital learning aids appear to be a great fit for India, and their demand is expected to surge significantly in the coming years. - Article by Sivaramakrishnan Venkateswaran, Managing Director, Oxford University Press India Read: Edtech trends of 2018 that will continue to impact education in 2019 Read: 4 major EdTech trends of 2017 that will continue to impact Education in 2018 Read: 6 technology trends that pushing up digital education in India
