The
Conventional Offline Tutoring will soon go into Extinction: See what Prudent
Teachers and School Managers are doing.
The Startling Statistics
´ Do you know
that in the next few years, the conventional brick and mortar school system
would go into extinction?
´ At present,
there are around 45% of the world’s literate population already studying
online. And experts have predicted more than double of that in the next couple
of years.
´ Recent
survey conducted among the high school students in The States shows that over
80% of young people have enrolled for one online course or the other within
this period with a feedback rating of A+.
´ Offline
teaching opportunities are going down each passing day, giving room to the
surge in online tutoring opportunities. Wise teachers are taking action already
to position themselves. Where are you now?
Why the
Offline Brick and Mortar School System will Collapse
The imminent collapse of the
conventional brick and mortar school system is not just a prediction, but an
inevitable phenomena that would be both striking and startling that those who
are not prepared for it would live to regret their indifference.
Let me show you some of the factors
that will lead to the collapse of the current system and structure of our
schools.
#1. The collapse of the macroeconomic
structures with its attendant consequences.
I have been saying this for some
time now as an intuitive management scholar and financial analyst. Thanks
goodness, I again heard Dr Kiyosaki repeated the same line recently: the
macroeconomic structures of the world is collapsing, and there is nothing that
can be done to remedy it at the governmental level, especially with the kind of
government that is not ready to tolerate the transfer of wealth to its
citizens. The reason for this is a discourse for another day.
But one thing stands out. The turn
of the century comes with it a shift in paradigm for a reason only the gods may
be able to interpret. Wealth creation and economic control is now in the hands
of individuals and no more in a central government coffer.
What’s the consequence?
High cost of living, leading to high production cost. Then
government will levy high taxation on organizations, including non-incorporated
outfits. School owners and managers will increase fees for tuition in order to
break even…
Guess what!
Parents will withdraw their wards from schools…
But it doesn’t stop there.
#2. Unprecedented Security Challenges.
With the collapse in the
macroeconomic structures of nations, comes the high cost of living. There will be
mass collapse of companies as a result of insolvency. There will be mass
sacking of workers. There will be so much suffering in the land. Then with the
unabated corruption of government officials, only one thing will follow…
High rate of crime!
I tell you, the crime rate in the coming years will be so
much that kidnappers will target buses carrying school children; they will even
go to schools in broad daylight to kidnap school children.
The reaction…
Parents will withdraw their wards from school.
#3. The continual upsurge in Online Solution.
Some might ask: If parents withdraw
their wards due to high tuition fee or security challenges, what happens to
their children’s education?
Friend, there are many free online
solutions offering great quality services you don’t see in our offline settings.
A lot of parents are already exploring them today. Meanwhile, in the next few
years, every parent will acknowledge the head-to-head advantage of online
solutions over the offline provision, and they would never look back after
that.
Online Education has so much advantages that would make it a
darling of every parent. Think of:
§ Cost effectiveness: Do you know that most of these online learning
platforms are free, yet they offer more than one can bargain for?
§ Global interaction: With online learning platforms, learners can learn
from their peers across the globe, thereby benefitting from cross-cultural
interactions that enhance learning.
§ Ease of learning: Online learning offers the level of convenience never
found in the offline structures. A child can still learn even when there is an
adverse weather condition; at any time of the day; at his/her own pace.
§ Quality materials of different
formats: The best
and most updated learning materials today are online. Surprisingly, most of
them are free. Moreover, these learning materials come in different formats-
videos, voice, worksheets, images etc- and are prepared and taught by highly
qualified professionals. Every learner group can do well with online learning
solutions.
§ Reduction in teacher-parent
confrontation: The usual
bickering we experience between teachers and parents over the question of
school fees drive, child’s rough handling, name them- are completely eliminated
or at worst, reduced to the barest minimum in online learning platforms.
You can see
that many parents will readily opt for online learning solutions for their
wards in the face of the coming catastrophe.
What Prudent Teachers
and Schools are doing.
“Fortune
favours the bold and abandons the timid”.
There is no other better way to interpret this age-long
saying than seeing it as an allegory of what the reactions of today’s teachers
and schools are in the face of the imminent collapse of the conventional school
system.
As a teacher, are you still dreaming of job security in that
school job?
What do you think will happen when parents withdraw their
wards and off to online learning platforms? You think the school owners will
still keep you in the payroll?
Dear
teacher, you need the basic training on skills that will help you remain
relevant in the field.
For school
owners and managers, the only way to have these parents and their wards
patronize your school is by providing a learning solution that guarantees a
convenient way of learning. And only a digitalized and online learning solution
makes this possible.
This is the right time to set up the supporting structures
for tomorrow.
