INNOVATION IN EDUCATION Yavatmal District in India launches a programme to train school teachers with Edufront's technologies Original article: https://www.einpresswire.com/article/579691926/yavatmal-district-launches-a-programme-to-train-school-teachers-with-edufront-s-technologies Peter Burgess COMMENTARY Education is one of the most valuable activities there is ... but sadly underappreciated in many parts of the world, and notably in the United States. Education is complicated and solutions based on simplistic assumptions are likely to fail ... and have done over the years. The human teacher is still a vital link in educational excellence. I remember when I was 12 years old in 1952 having a teacher have our class watch a TV educational program on the BBC in England. My recollection is that this happened just once because it was such a boring experience for the students. 70 years later, digital media has evolved and has much more potential now than in the old days.Even though American grade school education is quite poor ... American technical innovation is still very good. Why is this? In large part it is because of immigration. When I first came to the United States in the 1960s it was common knowledge that the research staff of Bell Labs ... one of the best research organizations in the United States ... were more than 50% foreign born. Fast forward to now, and all sorts of major tech companies in the United States have foreign born and foreign educated in their highest executive positions. The US has some of the best universities in the world and these also attract foreign students some ... maybe many ... of whom stay in the United States to make their careers. Bottom line ... improving education is a win for everyone, and especially for those who would otherwise be stuck at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid no matter where in the world one lives.
