A national teachers’ survey conducted by the India Edtech Consortium (IEC), the self-regulatory body formed under the aegis of the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) reveals that 86 per cent of tutors believe that the emergence of Edtech companies has expanded job opportunities for them, while 82 per cent believe that technology has enhanced their teaching capabilities.
The survey was done among 700 teachers. The survey also evaluated the level of job satisfaction that teachers experienced during the times of the Covid and post-pandemic days.
According to this survey, 62 per cent of teachers feel that their work-life balance has improved in the post-pandemic era, and this trend has been observed in both metro and non-metro cities. However, 10 per cent of tutors expressed discomfort with this trend and said that their work-life harmony has been disrupted. These teachers said that the increased competition is making the industry develop at a very fast pace which is leading to very high pressure.
According to IEC’s report, member companies in self-reported data have highlighted that a spend of about Rs 3500 crores was made during the financial year 2022 to enhance the overall learning ecosystem comprising teachers, content, pedagogy and faculty.
