Leveraging the Digital Momentum to Transform India’s Education Sector

The Indian education sector stands before a challenging yet exciting task of educating more than 580 mn learners over the course of the next few years. The future of skills and employability of the next generation of workforce, and consequently, the country’s economic output will be strongly determined by how well the education sector can respond and adapt to changing trends.

Educational institutions have unarguably navigated through some of the most difficult challenges in the post-COVID world. Months-long school closures have resulted in 12-14 months of learning delays in India, while over 80% students have lost at least one mathematical or language ability as a result of closures. While many institutions were forced to operate in the digital mode for the first time, others that had been operating digitally faced a fresh set of challenges.
