The Summit’s theme will focus on ‘Empowering Higher Education community with Ed-Tech collaboration to voyage from Education 4.0 to Education 5.0’.

Maharashtra –The land of Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, with its rich historic and cultural past, is also known for its good educational infrastructure. As Mumbai is the Financial Capital of the country; Pune is considered the cultural and educational capital of the state, popularly known as the ‘Oxford of East’. Cities like Aurangabad, Nasik, Nagpur, Kolhapur, Solapur, Ahmednagar, Jalgaon, Satara, Wardha, etc. are also higher education destinations and are emerging as ‘The Centre of Learning’.

This Knowledge forum invites policymakers, higher education leaders, innovators, and Edtech experts to share their experiences, ideas, and accomplishments that have helped the growth of the education community during the tough times of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will unite under one roof for a mission to co-create, co-learn, and collaborate for Innovation together with growth stakeholders.

The conclave will witness who’s who from government, universities, colleges, engineering institutes, B-schools and skill institutions, experts from corporate, EdTech companies & education startups. Deliberating, showcasing & presenting best & next practices in higher, skill & technical education.

Technology is a tool to add value and make education more effective. In a scenario where there is a huge transformation in the education sector with the rapid technological advancements, we are gradually transitioning from Education 4.0 to Education 5.0. ArdorComm Media Group, being one of the growing media startups in India, is here to explore the possibilities of innovation in education, the future trends, and the existing scenario to propel necessary discussions between major education, tech, and government stakeholders.

Chandan Anand, Founder, CEO & Group Editor of ArdorComm Media Group, emphasized saying, ‘’The goal of Education 5.0 is to transform the current educational system into one that is centered on action and outcomes. Despite repeated attempts to offer proper training, evaluation, and related assistance, the actual figures for employable graduates each year are alarming. As a result, the gap between industry demands versus employable-skilled human capital continues to widen. The transformation shift from Education 4.0 to Education 5.0 is about co-creating the socio-digital ecosystem which could ease the dynamics of teaching-learning-skilling-employing youth (Gen-Z & Millennials).”
