As India marks its 75th year of independence, it is an opportune time to reflect on the country’s progress and look toward the future. Byju’s co-founder Divya Gokulnath believes that technology has the power to democratize education and transform the way we learn.
In a recent article, Gokulnath emphasized the importance of technology in making education accessible to all. She highlighted how the pandemic had brought to the forefront the need for technology-enabled learning, and how digital platforms had enabled millions of students to continue their education despite the disruption caused by the pandemic.
Gokulnath stressed the need for a blended approach to learning, which combines the best of traditional and technology-enabled methods. She noted that technology can help personalize learning and make it more engaging, while also providing real-time feedback to students and teachers.
Gokulnath also highlighted the need for continued investment in the education sector, particularly in the development of digital infrastructure and teacher training. She noted that while technology has the potential to revolutionize education, it can only do so if it is implemented effectively and supported by skilled teachers.
