The EdTech Market is Booming – Here’s Why
EdTech is revolutionizing learning – and it’s racking up big numbers. The market is predicted to top US$500B by 2034. With a consistent rise buoyed by innovation in micro-customizable learning and online platforms that connect teachers with students across the world, it would seem that (to paraphrase my third grade teacher) the only limit for EdTech is our imagination. Also, is AI taking learners to new heights or taking over the classroom? Edtech AI startups promote themselves on turbocharging outcomes for teachers and students. But can they deliver on this promise? And where does their allegiance ultimately lie: with learners and educators or investors? But do these platforms actually improve learning outcomes? Camila Sáenz (founder of Tuteemi) and Christian Van Der Henst (cofounder of Platzi) unpack how platforms hold dwindling attention spans, why countries learn differently and why education still needs human connection.
