ducation is the process of accelerating learning or acquiring knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, habits, and personal development. Teaching methods include teaching, training, storytelling, discussion, and purposeful research. Education always takes place under the guidance of teachers; however, students can also educate themselves. Education can take place in a formal or informal environment, and any experience that has a formative influence on the way we think, feel or act can be considered educational. The teaching method is called pedagogy.

Formal education is often formally divided into phases, such as kindergarten or pre-school, primary education, secondary education, and then college, university, or apprenticeship. In most regions, education is compulsory until a certain age.

Education consists of learning and learning specific skills as well as something less tangible but deeper: giving knowledge, positive judgment, and well-developed wisdom. Education has one of the basic aspects of passing culture from generation to generation, but it is more of a formal

process of education and learning that takes place around the school.

Education means accelerating the realization of one’s own potential and hidden talents. It is applied pedagogy, a set of theoretical and applied research related to education and learning, and focuses on many disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, sociology, and anthropology.

The education sector is currently divided into two parts which are: Traditional & Modern.

Traditional education is mainly taught in a particular region up to a certain limit. It is considered outdated by a group of influential individuals. On the other hand, the traditional education system still holds a predominant position for the upbringing of a child.

Modern education is widely being implemented around the globe and has come a long way. It consists of science-driven knowledge that covers various fields such as technology, medicine, etc.

Tech-driven startups are accelerating the process of learning with AI in place. Many EdTech startups in India have already showcased their ability to transform our education system where education can be fun to learn.

In our edition of Top 10 Promising Startups in Education Technology-2022, on the cover story, we have Mr. Vikas Virupaksh, Founder & CEO of Unique-Sol Consultants India Private Limited. The institute promotes AI-based learning for a transformational future in India.

EdTech: A new standard of learning When we talk about the induction of technology in education, the foremost change that has been brought about in the learning landscape is that it’s now easier than ever to reach and cater to the educational needs of an increased number of students.

While a few relied on third-party applications such as Zoom, the smart ones opted for new EdTech platforms, which did not merely replicate classroom learning but aided the same.

This EdTech breakthrough has led students to complete their collaborative learning cycle. They are now equipped with a variety of entertainment techniques to fully understand the different concepts, and the same has been allowed for the full use and integration of Machine Learning and Intelligence.

This new learning architecture will harness the social reach of the internet; deliver personalized learning and training that can adjust to an individual’s learning requirements, and analyze big data to understand the most effective ways for learners to progress.
