Strike right balance on tech in education, PM tells G20 Ministers

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday addressed the G20 Education Ministers’ meet held in Pune, via video message, and called for judicious use of technology in education as it offers opportunities along with challenges.

He said digital technology serves as an equaliser and promotes inclusivity. It is a force multiplier in increasing access to education and adapting to future needs. Today, Artificial Intelligence offers great potential in the field of learning, skilling and education, he noted. “With opportunities, technology also poses challenges. We have to strike the right balance. The G20 can play an important role in this,” the Prime Minister said.
