While education in itself forms the basis of a strong nation, technology is what drives it forward in spreading its reach. As such, the use of technology in the education system would, without a doubt, accelerate the process of developing the quality of education provided.
As a nation, we witnessed huge progress in adopting the use of technology in education, as the pandemic compelled educational institutions to move their operations online. This progress, however, seems to have been lost since in-person classes were resumed.
The world is collectively moving towards a more integrated, global approach, where connections among countries will shape future interactions and progress between nations, and facilitating this paradigm shift will certainly require the assistance of our digital infrastructure, so as to arm future generations with the tools to acquire the knowledge they need.
An increased use of technology, especially in the education sector, can uncover avenues for future generations to discover, and make way for a truly digital nation to be built.
As the world progresses, Bangladesh cannot be tied back to an age-old system that does not fit in today's world. Our existing education system needs to be updated, integrating more tech-based solutions, and adapting to a more global curriculum.
It is imperative that authorities take into consideration the positive impacts technology can have on our education sector. It can pave the way to higher quality education, which will in turn aid in our progress as a nation.
