EDUCATION REPORT (DECEMBER 2018)

“Edtech will be called successful when it delivers impact at scale impact that can be measured through improvement in student learning outcomes or relevant success metric. We believe that the true potential of technology in education data and analytics is yet to be seen and are nudging all our companies towards becoming stronger in these areas and not focus on content alone. Scale is the biggest challenge that all education companies are facing and thats why investor interest in dwindling. There is a lot of focus on personalization of learning which leaves the teacher out of the entire product design. For the near short term at least in K-12 schools and teachers will remain to be core and it is important to design for improving their efficacy.“
