Indian teachers have broken the myth about their inability to use technology. We already have 3,000 schools lined up to adopt our platform, and more are joining the queue every day.

A few months back I attended a workshop on digital education. There, someone asked me if we, at Extramarks, while delivering technological education solutions to schools, have faced challenges in terms of adoption from teachers. My answer was very straight – in the past five years, we have seen a huge shift in behaviour and the adoption of technology-led classroom practices by teachers is no longer a challenge.

In fact, teachers are rather keen to adopt technology solutions which add value to a child’s learning. People looked at me with utter disbelief. However, the quick adoption of digital classrooms by Indian schools to facilitate continued learning in the COVID-19 period has proven my point. Teachers in India have very easily learnt to migrate to online mode of teaching. Extramarks started delivering learning solutions to schools way back in 2009, at a time when schools had just begun opening their eyes to technology. Extramarks has always been a pioneer in the way it delivered the right mix of cutting-edge technology and researched pedagogy-based learning solutions to schools, much ahead of its time. We always visualised that technology has the power of ultimately merging School and Home learning by really taking schools to home.
