  1. Fill Education Gap With Sachin DevDuggal Engineer AI Bridging India’s Education Gapswith CloudComputing Indian students are warming upto edtech platforms to enhance their learningexperience $1.96 Bn by2021 9% of the young Indian workforce in 2022 will be deployed in jobs that donot even existtoday

  2. The rapid pace of technological dispersion is altering every aspect of our lives. Even in India, as technology sees exponential adoption in some sectors like health and ecommerce, its adoption in some of the other sectors has been slow; one key area beingeducation. The utilisation of PowerPoint presentations, video narrations, projectors, and other gadgets have come a long way in education institutions, but in terms of IT infrastructure, these same institutions, especially schools, display a limited strategicvision. Contrariwise, Indian students are warming up to edtech platforms to enhance their learning experience. As per Wikibizpedia, in 2018, the edtech market size reached just below $550 Mn growing continuously at a CAGR of 49%. The figure is projected to reach $1960 Mn by2021. India is now believed to have over 4,000 edtech startups offering OTT mobile/desktop apps with coaching for different subjects. These applications capture students’ imaginations by using the latest technologies and cloud computingservices. More importantly, these apps make education a high engagement activity for students and transform learning significantly. Now being used by millions of students across the country, these edtech apps are a rage among learners of all kinds. Indian students are ready, more than ever, to embrace tech-influencededucation.

  3. Addressing The Other Challenges WithTechnology New-age technologies hold many advantages besides making the learning process more interesting for students. India’s government understands the positive impact that cloud computing will have on the education sector and therefore it is investing more than INR 1 Lakh Cr in an initiative called RISE (Revitalising Infrastructure and Systems in Education) that has a sharp focus on merging the new-age technologies such as cloud computing, Engineer AI and VRwith the education system. If optimised, cloud computing – coupled with other technological capabilities – can help bridge many perennial gaps in the education industry; such as quality, reach and cost ofeducation. RaisingQuality The biggest challenge in the Indian education system is the existing quality of education. In most institutions, the course curriculum is not updated regularly to be in line with globaldevelopments.

  4. To understand the gravity of this issue, let us look at the scenario for future jobs– which is the primary reason for undertaking education in the first place. As per a report by FICCI-EY-NASSCOM, 9% of the young Indian workforce in 2022 will be deployed in jobs that do not even exist today; whereas 37% workforce will be deployed in jobs with radically altered skillsets. Hence, to fill this gap, cloud computing can be optimized to deliver standardized courses from a central location to multiple classrooms. The cloud-enabled infrastructure can ensure seamless updates in course content as required and can be delivered to multiple classrooms at the same time, and withagility. Also, cloud infrastructure is highly scalable to shoulder big data, with on-tap provision for research and analysis on the data which can allow teachers to present content matter that is thoroughlyresearched. ImprovingReach The primary factors that make education a distant dream for many in India are either the unavailability of education or, if available, the high costs that come with it. Cloud computing can address bothissues.

  5. This is as remote classrooms enabled by the cloud can help in running multiple classrooms with a small group of teachers whilst also helping to overcome the lack of skilled teachers or the physical school infrastructures in more remote areas. The cloud can also play a massive role in delivering education by using streaming on theweb. This is because it can be used as an innovative platform for delivering classroom lectures; enabling seamless collaboration between teachers and students, irrespective of their locations. At the same time, students and teachers can collaborate on studies, projects using collaboration solutions offered on thecloud. By utilising cloud platforms, education institutes can not only reach out to students across states but also across countries with despite limited staff – thereby limiting the costs of education delivery. As the cost of delivering education goes down, students’ fees can be lowered in accordance. Streamlining AdministrativeWork Besides imparting education, teachers in India’s education system are also responsible for various administrative tasks. The cloud enables education institutions to smooth out their administrative responsibilities, which then enables them to focus on their core activity ofteaching.

  6. For instance, CRM systems can help maintain large volumes of data, such as students’ details as well as their academic performances and growth. These systems can also be a great help when it comes to managing recruitments, admissions, and other manually intensive tasks. Also, business Intelligence platforms enable teachers to use analytics in the classroom and helps in evaluating and establishing a course curriculum withease. Beyond bridging the traditional gaps in the education industry, cloud computing has the power to help Indian education institutions to not only narrowing the educational gap with global peers but – if implemented well – leapfrog them to become leading global education providers. The upside is that governmental efforts are now being supplemented by many existing IT players; with new players also emerging with innovative cloud-enabled products to reposition the value of IT within the mindsets of professionals working in the educationsector.

  7. Hence, the inclusion of Engineer.ai cloud computing with other new- age technologies in the education system is an inevitable trend that is waiting to help the sector transform the entirecountry.
