Technology integration also opens doors for individualised instruction to fulfil each student’s specific needs as an individual learner within a larger classroom environment.

- What are the key challenges in this sector? How are you tackling the industry challenges?
When the pandemic made it necessary for students to leave the comfort of their classrooms, online learning surged. An unparalleled flurry of funding and innovation then occurred. But in order to be successful in the market, you must be aware of all the traps that await ed-tech entrepreneurs.
One of the major challenges is the divide between business owners and educators. Teachers discuss student performance as businessmen discuss numbers. This gap makes it difficult to sell your goods and hides viable business prospects. Ed-Tech platforms sometimes lack transparency and essential teacher input. It is difficult to solve these issues without a deeper understanding of how students learn and how classroom technology affects learning results. Also, the interface may hinder user experience, because of this, it is challenging for end users to comprehend the system. Ironically, despite the fact that colleges, and schools strive to implement major technological advancements in education, many of these institutions resist change as they more comfortable with the traditional pattern.
Despite all the challenges, we believe that offline education system is here to stay and hence hybrid ed-tech models are more reliable. Navneet TopTech provides solutions which are easy for the schools and students to interpret and which makes learning more fun and interactive. We striving towards removing the resistance towards online learning.
