Dr. Rajesh Mohnot, Head of Finance Department at the College of Business Administration was invited as speaker to share his thoughts at an International Symposium. This was the 6th international webinar in the series of sessions conducted by edumate.tv covering the topic "Education: Challenges, Solutions & Opportunities in the New Normal".
Each session is moderated by Mr. Chetan Sharma who is a celebrated Indian Television News Anchor. Dr. Rajesh spoke on several pertinent issues such as loss of learning, loss of skill, and their economic impact; changing dynamics of the value proposition at higher education; potential usage of technology; more affordable and wider access to higher education etc.
Dr. Rajesh discussed some potential opportunities that the pandemic situation has created in the higher education sector. Blended learning could be one of the most adopted learning mechanisms in the modern education setting. The online segment of the education sector is currently valued at a tiny 2% of the total $2 trillion. This will certainly change the dynamics of investments in the field of education.
