Editor's Notes
- Good morning Introduction … Been in tech for 15 years 4 years ago I joined Samsung, and was part of the management team that founded the Enterprise Business in Europe Launching Samsung’s market entry into industry sectors including Education, but also Hospitality, Healthcare, Finance etc Scaled the Enterprise Business from 0 to 5 Bn in 3 years Last year Samsung tasked me to take on Education I have responsibility for Europe which covers all markets from UK & Ireland till Romania My role has involved setting up and managing our sales teams, developing GTM and leading engagements with Govt, partners and education institutions
- My presentation will focus on ‘Top Issues in Education Tech’
- Based on my discussions so far with various stakeholders that I work with Its an exciting and challenging time to be EdTech. I think the sector is at an early stage, and everyone has great ideas Policy makers across Europe are struggling with issues such as youth unemployment, drop-out rates, low STEM scores, and the overall competitiveness of the Education system compared to US and Asia Schools & Uni are under pressure to improve the quality of education service delivery. Esp. head masters talk about the ‘pressure’ they feel from parents to provide a better experience and better learning outcomes Teachers are under pressure …
- Fundamental question everyone is asking is … Are schools & Uni. providing students with the digital skills needed to be successful in the 21st Century society and job market So what are these 21st Century Skills? It’s the ability to communicate, to collaborate, to solve problems, to be self-directed, to innovate, and to be ICT literate
- This brings us to the role of technology in Education Tech. can enable students to collaborate, communicate, problem-solve and explore in a that traditional learning simply cannot Tech. can be the catalyst that will transform education system Providing teachers and students with New Tools For the 21st Century
- These are the Top-5 priorities in EdTech, and probably where the bulk of Govt. and school funding will go in the next 2-years In my conversations with policy makers, teachers and headmasters, I was a bit surprised that fundamental things such as Access and Equipment are still an issue, even in W.Europe. And in these areas I find the education sector lagging and reacting to better standard of access and equipment that students are used to in their daily lives, and at home On the other than more, there is a real sense of innovation and thought-leadership esp in the Learning area Teaching and change management, are ‘opportunity areas’ for tech. suppliers in the sense that they are the biggest barriers to mainstream adoption of EdTech and so schools and Govt are putting a lot of money to teach ICT to teachers and ensure that tech. implementation is managed and supported adequately.
- Lets talk about the #1 issue - Access On avg. 35% of Europe students have less than 5mbps access at school That’s not enough to XXX The worst case is Italy where 25% students have no Internet access As the Former Polish Education Minister pointed out …. There will be a lot of funding to connect schools esp. in Southern & Eastern Europe eg. Spanish Govt has allocated EUR300 Mn to provide 100 Mbps speeds to schools
- Priority #2 – equipment Turns out only 37% European students have access to well-equipped facilities Digitally-equipped classrooms are defined as classrooms that have sufficient provisioning of Equipment such as desktop and laptop computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards, digital cameras and data projectors; And also ‘connectivity’ such as a website, email servers, a local area network, a virtual learning environment How operational the technology is is also considered so maintenance and support is included For example in the typical 8th Grade class, 14 students share an internet-enabled laptop (this can be as high as 63 students even in countries like France and Belgium). Addtionally most laptops are provided in central facilities like a Comp Lab for example and usage is often limited to CS classes. (On avg. only about 15% students have access to a laptop in the classroom)
- So what are we doing about it? There is a lot of work going on across Europe in this space One example, Working with the Croatian Govt. to connect 1400 classrooms The solution is very innovation – classroom management solution that can work in offline and online modes – so that classrooms can be connected even when there is no internet access Classroom are also equipped with IWB and tablets all back up to the cloud, with training and support provided to the teachers and students on digital T&L.
- Not only do we have access and equipment issues, But also the majority of teachers in Europe lack the confidence and competency to teach ICT to students. 70% self-report that they would like more ICT training. The avg. age of teachers in Europe is 55 years, and Most teachers do not consider themselves digitally confident. Teachers that don’t understand your product or solution will not use it in the classroom. I believe this is the biggest barrier of tech. adoption in the classroom. Across Europe, Teacher ICT training is a major policy and investment priority for Govt. For example, the Italian Ministry’s new ‘National Plan for Digital Education’ which becomes Law in July, there will be a section dedicated to Teacher PD called Buona Scola. This will include ICT Training for Italy’s 1M teacher workforce, and an innovative program where teachers will be provided EUR500 prepaid cards to use towards their ICT training
- Samsung is trying to support teacher training in 2 ways Strategic collaborations to incorporate ICT more fundamentally in how teachers are trained in Europe Also rolling out a large global teacher training program this summer across 170 countries which will focus on empowering teachers with new tools & ICT skills
- Issue #4 - Learning And the key question as we said really is ‘are students learning 21st century skills’ in the classroom today? Unfortunately the answer is no for many students. In Poland for example a whopping 20% graduates lack Basic ICT skills When 90% of job today require atleast some basic digital skills, Its no surprise youth unemployment rates are so high Part of the problem is as we spoke access, equipment, teacher training issues. But the other part is that there isnt any R&D work done on tablet or laptop-based pedagogical approaches to learning. Sure most children know how to surf the internet and play video-games on the tablet, but not many know how to code, or design a webpage, or create a blog.
- I think this space has a lot of potential and it is early days. I will share with you just a few examples of the pioneering work Samsung is doing to develop new tech-based learning approaches Collaboration with Helsinki Uni. to develop a new pedagogical approach ‘playful learning’ We piloted tablet-based learning in 200 schools in the city of Vantaa The pilot resulted in the development of a new learning approach ‘Playful learning’ Using tablet, children were assigned tasks that required them to be physically active and mobile. The tablet also encouraged children to collaborate in taking photographs, posting them to a blog, exploring the internet in a self-directed way to gather more information about the lesson topics etc. In short to actively do practice 21st Century skills Engineers worked together with student teachers, teachers and students to apply tech. in a creative and playful way and develop from scratch new lesson plans and teaching methodologies
- Samsung has also invested in Smart Classrooms, Tech. Institutes and Coding Clubs across Europe where students of all ages and esp. from disadvantaged backgrounds can learn digital skills Even through there isn&apos;t a lot of research in this space, the programs positive learning outcomes and success rates in the job market
- 5th and last issue is change management This picture really sums it up for me, where a e-board gets delivered to a dilapidated school which clearly has bigger issues that connectivity to worry about When I spoke to Donatella who is the special advisor on EdTech to the Italian Ministry, she said … Change management in EdTech requires a truly multi-stakeholder approach Public funding, policy priorities, private sector initiatives and school operations need to be aligned to deliver measurable and scalable impact
- There is a lot of variation across Europe in terms of how education technology is delivered and this affects the speed and scale of change and impact In countries such as Netherlands and UK, where school’s have complete autonomy in terms of technology decisions and spending, there is a lot of innovation and experimentation, perhaps at the cost of systematic and scalable change In more centralised systems such as Czech republic where the Center has a lot more control on tech. policy and funding, I have seen a consistent National EdTech Vision developed and rolled-out in a fast and scalable way
- On top of each country’s public expenditure for Education European Union has allocated ~EUR 31.7Bn ‘Cohesion Funding’ to expedite EdTech deployment in Europe i.e the blue stars in the chart indicate each country’s allocation Each country has autonomy in utilization of the funds … Trends in tablet provisioning, network equipment, digital contents A lot of the EU Funds will be allocated on a project-basis and for innovative solutions so this is really good news
