Technology and Education

Episode 5 of 5

Virtual teaching became the norm for students from primary schools to university during the pandemic. But is technology a saviour or does it create more inequality in our system?

During the pandemic many schools and universities relied on virtual lessons using video software. In the final programme of this Rethink on Education, we look to the future and ask what is the role of technology in education? Will students be taught virtually or will online resources only be used to enhance the classroom experience? Amol Rajan and guests discuss.
