TRANSFORMING lEARNING IN SCHOOlS
A recent survey by Digital Transformation in Education, revealed that problem solving, collaboration and digital literacy are among the top skills required by students to adapt to future workplaces.
It also indicated that the biggest factor needed to successfully transform teaching and learning experiences was educator skill sets — in particular, being trained to optimize technology in the classroom. Only 31% of educators in the K12 schools surveyed in India believe they have the knowledge to make the most of the available technology, and require tools to drive personalised teaching, manage online classrooms, content and assignments and collaboration among students on projects.
To address this, Microsoft India has curated a first-of-its-kind programme to enhance teaching and learning experiences in schools and has programmes like:
MASP: Transforms education by modernising the school campus with state-of-the-art technology solutions from Microsoft.
MASP+: Empowers schools and institutes with innovative devices from iBall along with latest technology from Microsoft.
MASP Pro: with eFee Online, an e-payment facility empowers campuses to go cashless while extending digital convenience to parents and students.
