Can Digitisation of School Education be a Reality in India?

Insights, Center for ICT for Development

India is still not fully ready for the digitisation of education, especially school education, as has been the thrust of this year’s budget on education. Laying down bare statistics, Dr Protiva Kundu highlighted that 67% of schools in India have functional electricity and its connection ranges from about 25% in Manipur to 100 % in Delhi. Only 16% of schools have digital access and barely 1.2% of schools have digital libraries. About 40% of teachers have computer literacy. Dr Kundu was speaking at a panel discussion titled ‘Education and Union Budget, 2023-24’, organised by IMPRI Impact and Policy Research Institute, New Delhi on February 5, 2023 under #IMPRI Center for ICT for Development (CICTD).

The government wants to create a mobile operating system (OS) to compete with the dominant Android, owned by Google, and Apple’s iOS operating systems that have pretty much divided up the global smartphone market (Chinese tech major Huawei uses its own Harmony operating system on its phones after US President Donald Trump ordered Google to deny Android to companies that violated the sanctions against Iran). The government has even come up with a name for it: IndOS.
