The last 12 months have seen large capital flows toward education-technology field in India. The COVID-19 crisis provides the perfect opportunity – can players seize it?
The/Nudge Foundation is hosting '#charcha2020' - a platform to bring together thinkers, researchers, practitioners, enablers, policymakers, communicators, philanthropists and community leaders to address the toughest challenges in a post-COVID world. Registration link for this panel event can be found below.
The event will examine private schools have fared in the field compared to public and what this means for business models in the ecosystem, and for student learning outcomes, consumer preferences in the education technology sector and innovation in the field.
An important panel discussion is reimagining community/parents and their role - How do we react and respond to uncertainty. The event address some immediate concerns around college admissions, stream selection, board exams for children.
