The education sector is a unique industry with its foundations stretching back through human history. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t undergone digitalisation recently, nor does it mean it is exempt from the technological rethink expected in today’s world. This is especially true given recent changes due to Coronavirus, which has swapped schools for the screen.
But this crisis, amongst other trends, has invited discussion regarding how we learn, how we teach, and how we will be doing both in the future. From how education facilities operate, to how we support the students, we can all agree on one thing:
The apple will be the last physical object to change hands between children and teachers.
Updating in alignment with the industry is no one-time-thing. By modernising, innovation can be a constant process invigorated by a forward-thinking culture, ensuring you can disrupt the industry, too.
With the introduction of the latest technology to education facilities is the need to introduce relevant security to protect and secure data. This is especially true for younger students, and protecting minors.
Personalising the student experience has always been the lifeblood of successful teaching. But digitalisation can provide insight into the methods and success of techniques required for the students.
The education sector are driven by one vital thing: the teachers. They’re the ones putting the data-driven insights into practice and including the ‘fail-fast’ approach to innovation, and they’re the ones ensuring the ideation mentioned previously is put to its purpose and is tailored to their exact needs.
To meet this end, the technology our education consultants puts in place has to encompass the entire team and support collaboration and communication from the citizens you serve to the colleagues you work with. Once you've derived data-driven insights regarding your citizens' act needs and wants, the employees can then put in place a streamlined service that makes room for future innovation whether it's in the preschool or in a university.
Creating a culture based on the constant adaptation to disruption is central to staying up-to-date and ahead of the curve. AI, blockchain, the IoT, and extended reality are at the forefront of this, providing the competitive edge you need with data-driven insights into your students.
There’s two sides to every story - and this particular tale focuses on the students and the demand for the education in question. It’s for this reason that the digitalisation of education centres on the data-driven insights into what your students want and need from the education industry.
Central to the innovation, however, isn’t necessarily the creation of new ideas to entice citizens: it's about moving from the abstract of an idea to producing it at the scale and speed required for a public service to maintain efficiency and respond to demand.
You need to curate customer satisfaction via education consultancy and move with the tide of demand to maintain business stability, all the while upholding the standards required of such complex products. Balancing the ever-changing technological trends for your operations and for the customer are feats not to be taken lightly.

The education sector is all about the student. With a broad range of people potentially clustering under this term, responding to the exact needs of different groups requires insight that not all technology can grasp. But it’s the integration of technology to access the wide group that falls under this label that is key to the future of this sector. From student recruitment and the application process to the fundamental process of education, the future is digital.
For those with an ear to the ground, this process is also known as a Digital Transformation. A Digital Transformation rethinks how you manage your employees, your clients’ and business’ data, and how you carry out your business operations. Or, in simple terms, a DT is the technological revamp your business needs to stay competitive.
The specific technology driving this pivots on the data-driven insights constantly garned from customers and thus the students, as well as the security of this data. This is especially true of younger students in the mandatory system rather than those in higher education. Harnessing families' data is not only near impossible but also unethical, as is failing to protect their details.
On top of this, introducing technology that can improve leadership skills and a workplace overhaul to oversee the implementation of the digital strategy is forecasted for this sector.
Only recently has analytics, automation, the cloud, and the Internet of Things been integrated into the industry’s technological stance. And only recently have your competitors realised the importance of staying one step ahead. You need to keep up.
SOURCE YOUR STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCE
Deriving student’s desires via data-driven insights is a process best left to the computers, but it's the presentation of the data that is vital to securing transparency and trust for the students.
GO BACK TO BASICS
A number of sectors have already utilised digitalisation to move a head from competitors. However, this took place a decade back. Plant technological innovation in every avenue of your business for constant renewal.
MATCH THE TRENDS VIA TECH
Introduce digitalisation across the organisation to allow innovation to take hold and grow and meet the needs of your students faster.
HARNESS THEIR DATA, DON’T RISK IT
Trying to engage your students is no easy feat. Source trust in your organisation via online protections and cyber security.
SERVE YOUR CITIZENS, NOT THE SERVICE
Maintain complete transparency with data gathering techniques and the use of said data to ensure you benefit from the insights and promote trust.
BALANCE TECH AND YOUR TEAM
AI, analytics, and automation drive insights into your customers' exact wants. But look beyond technology and maintain a human perspective to reap the fullest rewards of data-driven insights.
BLEND OPERATING MODELS
Harness the fullest potential of your technology by merging together a collection of operating models and digital solutions to find the select solution for improved efficiency.
CREATE A CULTURE
Source innovation via a complete supply chain transformation that generates and reinvents ideas throughout the entire organisation.
ACHIEVE AT SCALE
The education sector has to both generate ideas and scale the solutions specific to your needs. Technology assists with this process.
+ What is the education sector?
The education sector is a group of institutions that provide education whether it's for young students in mandatory learning or for those seeking higher education. This includes schools, colleges, and universities. There are four sectors within it: service providers, supplemental education service providers, educational products and publishing, and education support services.
+ Is the education sector growing?
The education sector - despite the dramatic changes brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic - is currently growing at 4-5 percent on a yearly basis. This is due to technology-driven areas, such as multimedia content and certain niches such as vocational training which are experiencing very high levels of growth.
+ What is the future of the education industry?
From the way we teach, to the tools utilised to meet that end, the education sector so far has failed to sync up to the future. But more recently, online learning has accelerated the industry. Thus, the future of this sector focuses on multimedia experiences and connected environments, such as online admission systems and simplified communication.
+ What are the trends for the education sector?
Specifically, the digital trends anticipated include online learning experiences from teaching to taking in work to be marked, cyber security initiatives for this online learning, and student-targeted technology that brings the classroom to the keyboard. Responding to their needs via analytics - whilst also protecting student data - leads the way.
+ How is technology changing the education sector?
The roles of student and teacher have already been altered. With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, learning from home via laptop and smartphone has created a revolution in digital solutions from lessons to turning in work. Monitoring the students and collaborating with the teacher has been streamlined via instant messaging and online calls.
