Technology can never replace classroom teaching: Manish Sisodia

At a recent event, the Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that if technology could replace classroom teaching and learning, schools and colleges would have shut down decades ago.

On Thursday, while addressing the Digital India Conclave, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that if technology could replace classroom teaching and learning, schools and colleges in various countries would have shut down decades ago. During the conclave he discussed the impact of technology on education post the Covid-19 outbreak.

"Technology is a tool to improve education. It can add value to education, but technology can never replace classroom teaching-learning experience. If that were the case, schools and colleges in countries leading in technology would have shut down decades ago, and the entire education system would have shifted to digital platforms," Sisodia said, as reported by PTI.
