In Oct'21 Azim Premji wrote about ‘Why and How India is facing its most dire education emergency’, which highlighted the problem of inaccessibility of quality education by the underprivileged, especially during the pandemic. For us, this was a trigger. As we thought more on this subject, we realized that India's education system is fraught with many more challenges like – the traditional textbook oriented approach of teaching, inadequate remuneration of teachers, excessive academic pressure on students, and many more. And now, we’re wondering, Can edtech’s for-profit endeavors ever solve the problems faced by the underprivileged? Have edtech companies really been solving India’s education problems? How grave is the problem of poor remuneration of teachers in India? Is there any startup working to address any of the problems? To get a closer look at this, we had an interesting conversation with the co-founder of an Indian edtech company that is working to solve one such problem. Here are the questions on which Sahil Makker, co-founder of Suraasa, gave his perspective: Problems faced by the stakeholders of India's education system Can for profit endeavors ever solve the problem of 'inaccessibility of quality education by the underprivileged?' 'Teachers are often underpaid', how grave is this problem in India? What is Suraasa doing to solve this problem? Will NEP 2020 help you catapult in your journey? Are the edtech companies doing a good job in addressing the problem of 'traditional approach to learning'?
