5 E-Learning Platforms Every Parent And Student Should Know (2023)


It’s been clear since the beginning that the pandemic would have a lasting impact on education. Social distancing requirements make it increasingly difficult for students to access the same educational opportunities they had before.

In his New York Times bestseller, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari writes: “The point of education is not just to get a job. It’s to adapt and participate in a rapidly changing world.” Gaining skills like adaptability, critical thinking, and digital literacy for Harrari is much more important than memorizing facts from books.

Even though some worry that online learning could hinder this goal, facts show a different picture. A growing number of students are already taking advantage of online learning platforms that offer a variety of courses, from basic math and science to coding.

The Growing Popularity of E-Learning

We all remember how the situation started. When the World

What Do Private School Consultants Do?


With the growing demand for education and quality education especially, consultants and affiliate agents have been quite active in the market.

However, these institutes are responsible for grooming a child and giving him the vision for applying practical skills in his professional life. Training a child at home isn’t a piece of cake; school or an educational fraternity is an ideal environment for one’s development, personal growth, and success. Hence, it’s equally important that parents play their part by investing a decent fortune in their child’s future.

According to the statistics of 2021, there are about 80% of private schools around the globe operate under different organizations and legislations. Decades back, individuals used to think that getting admission and scholarship

You’re probably already aware of the benefits of limiting your children’s screen time. But I bet you didn’t know that you can use that same principle to help them develop into strong, independent thinkers. If you’re ready to get started, here are some tips for getting your kids off their screens and onto other interesting activities:
