Sumeer Chandra, Managing Director, HP Inc. India, said that the New Asian Learning Experience study helps us understand the evolving mindsets of parents around learning and development of their children. This allows HP to provide better technology solutions that enhance learning, augment skills, and serve as foundational tools for children’s growth.
The study finds that 22.7 percent of respondent parents in India are extremely concerned about their children’s future.
While parents in India believe that digital technology can expose their children to new cultures and ideas, they also believe that such exposure should be closely monitored and moderated. The impact of experiential learning is complementary to digital learning as it provides knowledge along with the idea of implementation which aids in the overall development of children.
They further say that the print medium of learning aids reading comprehension and duration while digital learning facilitates creative and critical thinking along with retention. More than half of the parents in India believe that their children will perform better through a holistic mix of digital and experiential learning.
HP Inc. India’s senior director, printing systems and solutions- Leo Joseph said that the majority of parents in India are making efforts towards the overall development and skilling of their children contrary to the emphasis on academic and financial development in the past. As a technology leader, HP is supporting parents in providing holistic learning and development opportunities for their children. By equipping youth with the right technology, they are doing their part to help make them ready for the future, he said.
