Welp MagazineImagine a world where students are not confined to a specific location or ‘space’ to learn and are free to learn at every point in time and space. Imagine your iPad (or the future equivalent) teaching you while you are stuck in traffic, what would be the coolest thing to learn about? Say, about health care? Or to speak a new language? Or about a new, previously unknown concept, which one day might change your field?
If you answered yes to any of these, then you must be excited about the EdTech startup space.
The only sad part is that most of the public-school systems around the world are actually quite the opposite of what I just described, and even worse, despite of the enormous growth of technology-driven tools, the public-education industry is still largely stuck in the industrial age, and specifically in the 1950’s. However, this is about to change, and it’ll change big time.
