The digital revolution has already conquered
several vital fields like- Banking, Finance,
Insurance, Shopping, Healthcare, etc. The
education sector is now on the verge of complete
digitization. If you start analyzing the status
of online education during the past decade, then
you will find it in a very miserable condition.
There are so many obvious reasons behind such
kind of situation. Lack of awareness and digital
infrastructure can be considered as prime
reasons. Things are past now. High-speed internet
infrastructure, technology awareness, entry of
giant corporate players have strengthened the
platform of online education in India. Social
isolation during the COVID-19 era is acting as a
catalyst to accelerate online learning
concepts. Students and parents have become
habituated to the digital counterpart of
education. As schools and colleges are unable to
cater educational needs of students these days,
Online tuition is rapidly gaining popularity.
This business has succeeded to satisfy its
clients with optimum quality, ease, and
convenience. This is quite clear that the future
of Online tuition is going to be very bright and
promising.
