Experts share their insights on the rapid growth and the future of edtech, especially influenced by the pandemic. Asian countries like China, South Korea, and Singapore have invested in comprehensive tech infrastructures in educational institutions, focusing on digital platforms, personalized learning, and STEM. In India, edtech is making inroads into remote and underserved areas.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, Nordic countries like Finland and Sweden are leaders in blending technology with traditional education models, focusing on digital literacy. The UK takes it a step further with paperless classrooms, as seen in the Essa Academy in Bolton, where students are given iPads and even have the flexibility to design their own courses.<\/p>\n<p>Three major areas of edtech growth include online learning platforms, adaptive learning technologies, and immersive experiences through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). These technologies offer personalized, convenient, and interactive learning experiences. In the Middle East, edtech has gained strong interest, particularly in online programs, gaming, esports, and AI. Unique to the region is KITMEK, the Middle East\u2019s first AI-taught digital school operating in the metaverse.<\/p>\n<p>The experts also highlight that accessibility and affordability are critical factors. New edtech tools are increasingly available to students in remote or economically challenged areas, thanks to advancements like 5G technology. In summary, edtech is not only revolutionizing how education is delivered but also making it more accessible worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong>: Zuger, S. (2023, July 28).
