Episode 35: The Impact of Technology on Education Pardon The Disruption
-
- Negócios
The world of education, like so many sectors in our society, is changing. Specifically, technology is starting to play a more important role in what we learn, and how we learn it. As distribution and platforms scale internationally, the technology-driven education market (or 'EdTech') is projected to grow at 17.0% per annum, to $252bn by 2020, led by companies such as Coursera, Udacity, and Udemy.
Despite this large growth and a rapidly changing labor market, education is still starved of capital compared with other sectors and is still largely under-digitized. Added to that, today in the U.S. there are 44.7 million Americans with a total of $1.56 trillion in student loan debt.
All of this begs the question, is a degree today a valid return on investment and what role can technology play to better equip graduates for the existing roles in the market place?
