Education Modalities Suffer From Scaling Limitations

Current education systems face structural inefficiencies such as excessive administrative workloads on educators, overcrowded classrooms, and inequitable resource distribution. Innovative technologies have the potential to significantly reduce these burdens by providing tools that assist teachers with scheduling, grading, and creating personalized, adaptive lesson plans. Digital platforms could dynamically tailor learning experiences to individual student progress, complementing classroom teaching. Additionally, technology-driven improvements in administrative efficiency could free valuable resources, enhancing educational equity and overall student experiences. “US K-12 teachers are 30% more likely to face burnout than U.S. soldiers, whose lives are defined by relentless duty, perpetual war and low wages.” - Adrienne Williams  “Given recent improvements in the quality, affordability, and usability of technologies like AI, computer vision, and AR/VR, we can reimagine a more personalized, research-driven K-12 experience—one better able to meet diverse learning needs and set students up for success both in school and in life. From chatbots for individual coaching to immersive mixed reality solutions to adaptive technologies supporting culturally responsive pedagogy, we have an opportunity to leverage new technologies to tackle pressing needs across literacy education, STEM instruction, and preparing students for the workforce.” - Kumar Garg
