Cloud computing is a powerful technology for delivering IT infrastructure services that include servers, storage, databases, software, analytics, and networking intelligence over the Internet. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, a prominent name in the tech landscape, sees Cloud computing as a game-changer in bridging education gaps in India. The potential of cloud computing may enable remote classrooms, deliver standardized courses among others, and prepare the workforce for future job opportunities. By implementing Cloud Computing, schools can provide affordable and accessible education to students all over India.
The Current Landscape of Indian Education
The present Indian educational scenario is marked by a combination of challenges as well as opportunities. Even though great strides have been taken to increase enrolment rates and expand access to education disparities still exist in terms of quality of teachers and infrastructures leading to poor learning outcomes among students. The following are some of the recurring problems faced by the Indian educational sector:
1. Access Disparities: Urban areas have well-equipped schools while rural regions often lack basic facilities such as schools or colleges etcetera. This difference combined with the digital divide, leaves many students deprived of quality education.
2. Quality Concerns: Ensuring consistent high-quality education across diverse geographies is challenging for quality providers; traditional methods struggle to keep up with evolving pedagogies and global standards.
3. Cost Constraints: Education costs can be prohibitive, especially for marginalized communities; this makes it unattainable for many who want to learn.
