The initiative undertaken at the recent G20 summit is indicative of the fact that the Indian Education sector is at a very interesting cusp of development. The key highlights undertaken at the summit underscore India’s commitment to building a resilient infrastructure for education by promoting overall development and lifelong learning among students. By embracing coherent structural changes, the country strives to augment its positioning as an education hub across the world.

The positive changes outlined at the G20 are aimed at empowering students, where the vision to revolutionise the education sector can be perceived as an endorsement of the 2020 National Education Policy (NEP). The decision to strengthen the foundational courses while focusing on skill development perfectly aligns with the purpose of the NEP. Here, it is important to note that the initiatives undertaken by the G20 leaders also play a crucial role in meeting the last-mile delivery of education. Therefore, let's take a look at the key factors that support last-mile education in the sector.

Technology Steering The Sector Toward Inclusive And Equitable Education

Showing enthusiasm to leverage digital technologies to the fullest sheds light on the unwavering resolve to render an inclusive, equitable, and progressive education system. Aimed at overcoming the digital divide, it promises affordable and accessible education to all, especially for underprivileged children. It supports the disintegration of socio-economic barriers to provide quality education to everyone. Taking a cumulative view, making use of technology in education comes with the scope of uplifting everyone in society.
 
Along with this, technology has the ability to keep students abreast of the latest developments in alignment with the perennially evolving digital trends in the industry. The integration of technology in education helps them keep pace with the latest developments and equips them to manoeuvre the industrial landscape with sheer ingenuity.

Harnessing Technology For Teacher Training

Looking at the wide gamut of advantages that the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), etc. can offer, they can play a crucial role in empowering the teaching fraternity. They are much sought after for their ability to acquaint educators with the latest technologies, who can helm the industry towards a rapid and effective digital transformation. Considering that educators are that force responsible for teaching, guiding, and mentoring students, imparting digital literacy amongst them can be a positive step towards building a robust infrastructure for education and, in turn, shaping the future of the students.

Promoting Task Automation

In addition to this, the underlying benefits of technology can revolutionise the sector significantly. It can take away the major workload of the teachers. By automating the basic repetitive tasks and paperwork, it minimises the unnecessary human intervention that otherwise is immensely time-consuming. In a way, this gives that extra time to teachers to focus more on innovative teaching pedagogy to elevate the understanding and reception of the students. Moreover, technology can help teachers do a lot of research to identify the gaps existing in the industry. Consequently, they can come up with ingenious solutions to make the class more interactive and productive.

Helms Personalisation Of Education

Understanding that every student is different, where the pace of understanding and reception of knowledge varies for everyone. Along with this, they project diverse areas of interest where a certain topic might be a strong point for some while it could require more effort from others. Here, technology can aid in bringing about the personalisation of education, which customises the study material and test papers based on the strengths and weaknesses of the students. Further, by continuously monitoring their performance, it can steadily scale their preparation by upgrading their receptive power and easing the learning process.
 
Cumulatively, it can be said that G20 comes with the ability to herald the education sector to a higher pedestal by reforming the lives of the students. Supporting the last-mile delivery of education can render a progressive and resilient infrastructure for education. Looking beyond the immediate reformations, the initiatives undertaken at the summit can echo the educational proficiency of the country across the globe. At the same time, focusing on research can create opportunities for higher education that in turn can play an instrumental role in the development of the country.
