Bright Future EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY

Education technology (EdTech) uses technology to expand access to education. In a digital world, learning is no longer confined to the four walls of a classroom: students attend classes, study, communicate and receive assignments all online. 

With wide accessibility to broadband, technology-augmented education is the new standard. Students can create a highly-custom learning experience, all at their own pace.

Corporations are searching for an equipped workforce ready for the future. Places that provide a steady, educated pipeline of talent will attract these businesses.

The EdTech industry is booming. In 2017, international funding reached $9.52 billion. Online talent platforms could raise global GDP by up to $2.17 trillion and increase employment by 72 million full-time equivalent positions.
