The educational system is an integral pillar of the country. It is the institutions that shape the students and provide India with skilled talent that can drive the nation’s growth ahead. The pandemic outbreak did bring about various disruptions in the market. However, the sector was resilient in its approach and quickly treaded on the path to recovery. Since digital emerged to be the pivot element, it was keen to undergo digital transformations.
Ever since then, technology has been upscaling the market rapidly. The surge in the adoption of ed-tech platforms and them enabling online learning is a prominent instance of the same. As we have dealt with three more waves in the past two years, technology’s impact on the sector has been significant. It is expected that now, digital revolution will change the face of the Indian school education system.
Just like other industries, automation has been making its way into the educational segment as well. Educational institutions especially schools have been leveraging the power of ERP software to cater to the teaching-learning gaps. It is expected that this new-age technology will emerge as the new normal for schools in the future.
As per reports by Modor Intelligence, the global Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) market size for schools in the year 2020 was valued at $8.05 billion. It is projected to hit the $18.82 billion mark by 2026 and grow at a 16.2 per cent CAGR. The study further points out that the Asia Pacific region especially India is the fastest-growing market. It further states that schools are keen to ride on the ERP wave and that this trend will pick up pace in the future.
As of now, this new-age tech is playing a vital role in seamless school management by reducing redundancy of work by establishing a centralised database system. With ERP software, schools are able to operate with a data-driven approach and manage operations remotely yet smoothly. With this solution, not only the students have access to high-end educational experiences but even the parents get a chance to come closer to their child’s school life. They are updated on their child’s progress in school in real-time.
Be it learning modules, educational content, assessment of child’s progress, report card generation and analysis, ensuring effective communication between schools and parents, GPS tracking of school transportation; automation has successfully taken over all the jobs that require human intervention. It is thus due to automation that schools have been able to go paperless in the truest sense!
Earlier, every concept was taught in the same manner to all the students together in the classroom. However, with digitisation, education is now being personalized and customised. With Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, educational content can be tailormade as per the individual student’s requirement so as to ensure they have access to high-end educational experiences. By tracking the student’s progress, the technology analyses the areas where students are struggling and would need to pay more attention. They then customize the content accordingly as per their needs so that they are able to understand concepts better.
Gone are the days when learning used to happen on blackboards along with other supplementary visually appealing content. However, in the present times, education has become engaging and interactive since the institutes, as well as the ed-tech platforms, have an opportunity to go creative with the digital content. They have the liberty to adopt innovations and curate content in a new-age manner. Hence, they are able to offer holistic learning experiences by offering the perfect balance of theoretical knowledge and hands-on learning. This way education is now becoming a pleasurable experience for the students as compared to the conventional approach that was mundane.
Education has now become an anytime, anywhere concept. Currently, students can learn flexibly at their pace and convenience. All of this has been facilitated by technology. Digital adoption has helped in effectively bridging the gap between parents and teachers. New-age technologies have been playing a major role in enabling remote as well as hybrid learning. They are changing the landscape of the Indian educational segment and will shape its future as well. The educational segment will progress and flourish in the times ahead and technological advancements will be a major factor driving this growth.
