The edtech business has enabled the education ecosystem to rapidly develop across universities, schools, and autonomous institutions. During the pandemic years 2020-21, the edtech industry ramped up its efforts to provide learning access to a very broad segment of underserved learners.
Almost 500 million individuals in India are between the ages of 15 and 24. The Edtech business, in collaboration with universities, had reached out to a significant segment of society for excellent education via online methods. The education market was valued at 117 billion two years ago, and it is expected to grow to 225 billion by fiscal year 2025.
Skill development and employability education leading to the granting of a degree are the two driving elements of the post-pandemic edtech business.
This is a win-win situation and a pressing necessity for India, which seeks to improve its GER (Gross Enrollment Ratio) from 27% to 50% by 2030, as outlined in the National Education Policy 2020.
