We need to proceed with a cautious regarding the mindset of technology. The world’s educational systems need more funding and better online providers. Every child--regardless of socioeconomic status, ability or geography--should have equal access to a quality education. Education is one of the fundamental rights in India. But I am not sure that Indian government can provide that for all children across the country.
The proponents of online education claim that online learning is a great equalizer. It can reach everyone despite what their social, economic, religious, ethnic or physical or mental differences are. The e-learning gives all students the same opportunity to reach their full potential. But the question arises if all states of India, its schools and colleges, homes cyber café and the libraries are equipped with equal access to technology.
The computers have reached in rural areas but what is the number? How many computers and internet connections can be located in a remote village of Bihar. Thus, we need more resources in order to make online education everyone’s cup of tea.
