Role of Technology in Changing Dynamics of Education

Only technology can help private universities to reach where they aim to be, by creating new models of delivery of education and designing models which are ICT enabled. India has 500 million people in the age group 0-24 and therefore our problems are different. We need massive online open courses which are purely technology-driven. 75 per cent of the children who are presently in age group of less than 10 years, when in the future they become employable, will be working in jobs they have not created yet. That’s the pace at which the world is changing. Is our education system geared up to cater to that kind of demand?
