Online Learning gives you a Chance at a Better Future

How we learn has changed so much over the last two to three decades. Schools and advances in technology have changed incredibly. There is more of an understanding that children and adults learn in different ways. But things like funding, class numbers and a strong focus on examinations and passing them mean not everyone is getting the learning they need for future jobs.

If you want to have a chance at the best jobs for the future you need to make sure you do not have gaps. Show your future employers that you are doing everything you can to be what they want.

Who is online learning for?
There is the impression among some that online learning is more for techy types, or that it is just for secondary school and college type students. This is not true and it is part of the joy of using the internet to learn. Anyone can come on to a site like Acadru where there are high-quality modules for free. Anyone can advance their skills, their passion, their understanding of their fields of interest. You can learn around work. After school. Anytime you can fit in a session!

Does it isolate the student?
There is no need for learning online to isolate a student at all. If the modules are to patch up areas that are weaker than you would like, you are still getting the socialization from your other studies or from work. Some learning online, in fact, can involve interacting with others, it depends on where you do that learning.

With the knowledge and skills you have, you are more able to discuss things that interest you with others. With students learning online you also get to manage when you do your studies so you can work around seeing friends and having whatever extracurricular activities or hobbies you enjoy.

Parents should consider the future for their child
It is a sad fact that over half the students in schools right now in South Asia who will be seeking employment by 2030, will not have the skills employers want. There are several causes for this state of affairs. Schools have a huge curriculum and that means teachers have to speed through certain areas.

There is also not much attention given in schools to multi-disciplinary topics, unfortunately. Along with spending in education not being where it is needed, schools used tired resources and teaching classes that are too full, and it all leads to a lower quality in what is being taught and learned.

Some parents are seeing the problem and trying to take action with their children to work for those best jobs for the future. Some think that because they cannot afford extra tuition, there is no chance for their child. This is not the case. With the free but still high-quality modules on Acadru that less than positive scenario can change.
