If you come to edtech through schooling and other venues of compulsory face-to-face learning, you understand quite well that just because a student’s body is at their desk that doesn’t mean their spirit or mind is present there as well. 

If you come to edtech through YouTube, it is easy to convince yourself that the people who are watching your videos are also learning from your videos, that they are also enjoying learning from your videos, that they would also enjoy learning from more of your videos. Certainly, all of that is true for some percentage of Karpathy’s two million views, but far less than 100%. I would anchor our predictions at roughly 5%.

Karpathy is now jumping into the top of a flume ride full of people who found early success explaining stuff on YouTube and later struggled to fulfill their greater ambitions for education, people like:

Sebastian Thrun, who created a very popular YouTube playlist on artificial intelligence, and later turned that playlist into Udacity, and later fell far short of his ambitions in K-16 schooling, and later pivoted to friendlier terrain in corporate education, and later sold his company altogether for what is widely assumed to be a steep discount.

Andrew Ng, who put videos of his Stanford lectures online, and later created Coursera with Daphne Koeller to surround those videos with a learning management system, and later saw course completion rates hover around 10%, and later saw the stock price of his company decline 85% from its initial public offering.

Sal Khan, a popular YouTuber whose videos were first watched by family members and then by millions, who later scaled his ideas about learning into Khan Academy, a platform that has demonstrated significant learning gains in studies where researchers first throw out 95% of the students in the study.

A large reason why these edtech startups do not work well for the majority of students is that the majority of students are not particularly interested in reading academic text or watching sequences of explanatory videos. If they were, we would have solved mass education many centuries ago with the printing press. Thomas Edison would have been correct in 1922 that “the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and that in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks.”

Whether generative media will over- or underperform static media here remains to be studied, but let’s just say I have my suspicions.

....

But the edtech graveyard is stacked several caskets deep with resources created by autodidacts—people who are highly self-motivated and highly self-directed, people who are just fine learning by themselves, thank you—for autodidacts. We might estimate the population of autodidacts at about (well look at that) 5% of the overall population.

If Karpathy seeks to broaden the appeal and efficacy of his platform beyond 5% of learners, he’ll need to add community. He’ll need students to understand that their work has an audience, that they can learn from other people and other people can learn from them.

Is recession real?

‘The Covid-19 pandemic hit the global economy hard. And even as the economy struggled hard to recover from this, the Russia-Ukraine war arrived as another great setback. These two factors combined are expected to push the global economy into recession next year. And India is not immune.

Some of the impacts include

Major output loss in 2023

Rising interest rates to arrest inflation

Mounting public debt

Weakening currencies

Costly food and fuel

Refer to the detailed article by India today 

https://www.indiatoday.in/diu/story/global-recession-2023-how-it-affects-india-detail-2284356-2022-10-12

What are some of other facts that is causing concern

The services sectors lost 7.9 million jobs in October 2022. Of these, 4.6 million losses were incurred in rural India and 3.3 million were in urban India. There is a concentration of the job losses in the services sector in rural retail trade. Retail trade is the largest employer among the services industries

As startups in India keep firing their staff to navigate through the funding winter, India may see more than 60,000 job losses in 2022 alone, led by edtech and e-commerce platforms, according to an IANS report.

https://www.cnbctv18.com/india/indian-start-ups-may-see-over-60000-job-losses-in-2022-led-by-edtech-and-e-com-warns-report-14021402.htm

The unemployment rate shot up to 8.3 per cent, which was the highest compared to the rates in the past 12 months. This rise in the unemployment rate reflects the inability of the economy to provide adequate jobs at a time when the demand for jobs from people increased.

Vedantu acquires majority stake in Deeksha for $40 million in offline push

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/vedantu-acquires-majority-stake-in-deeksha-for-40-million-in-offline-push/

Vedantu acquires majority stake in Deeksha for $40 million in offline push

Indian edtech Vedantu has acquired a majority stake in education chain Deeksha for $40 million, the latest in local online learning platforms’ growing attempts at tapping opportunities in the offline market.

The Bengaluru-headquartered Vedantu, which became a unicorn last year, said it will integrate its technology into offline centers of Deeksha as part of the strategic partnership to create a “scalable hybrid model.” Deeksha, is a 22-year-old institution that operates 39 physical centers in three Indian states and coaches students in 11th and 12th grade to operate for competitive exams.

Vedantu began experimenting with offline experience earlier this year and said in Deeksha, it found the right partner to maker deeper inroads in smaller Indian cities and towns. In an interview with TechCrunch, Vedantu co-founder and chief executive Vamsi Krishna said he has been tracking Deeksha for 10 years and when they began exploring synergies together, it became clear that the two will immensely benefit from the partnership.

Deeksha’s current topline revenue is between $10 million to $12 million and it’s operating at a 21% EBIDTA margin, according to a person familiar with the matter. Krishna declined to comment on Deeksha’s finances.

Krishna, who is a teacher himself, has taken a slightly different approach to acquisition opportunities. The edtech market in India has witnessed over a dozen consolidation in the past two years, but Vedantu has largely avoided any participation in that game. “We are still open to acquiring more startups, but I don’t have a certain metric to hit. Acquiring firms is not a strategy for Vedantu,” he said.

“When we say we are employing a hybrid strategy, we don’t mean pure offline centers. In fact, we don’t have any intention to ever open a pure offline center. We have always believed in creating access to quality teachers especially in tier 3 and tier 4 cities. Our vision is that students come to the center, but teachers are still teaching through streaming and other technologies.

Indian edtech giants accelerated their growth during the pandemic – and raised record amounts of capital. But as schools reopen, the firms are increasingly finding it difficult to maintain the same growth.

India is one of the world’s largest education markets with over 300 million school-going students and those preparing for competitive college exams. Only a sliver of this base is currently using any online education service.

Offline coaching centers, in contrast, are growing and continue to remain far more popular among students. In the past two years, top edtech giants including Byju’s, Vedantu and Unacademy, some of which sought to displace the offline players by offering affordable and higher quality education, have renewed their efforts to more directly tap the offline market.

Byju’s acquired Aakash, another physical online institute, for nearly $1 billion last year. Unacademy launched offline experience stores earlier this year. “Offline learning is not going away anytime soon. In fact, online complements offline really well, and together as a package, the omnichannel model is going to steer and be here for a long period of time,” GV Ravishankar, a partner at Sequoia India, said at an event earlier this year.

“Through this partnership, we will leverage Vedantu’s LIVE Class platform for our students and provide a hybrid solution that maximizes learning outcomes through personalized learning algorithms. Vedantu’s hybrid learning model will also enable us to provide the same ‘Deeksha Experience’ to millions of students in smaller towns and cities at an affordable cost,” said Dr. Sridhar, co-founder of Deeksha, in a statement.
