 42% of the parents in the country trust education apps recommended by schools and teachers

The Coronavirus crisis has triggered a conversation about the online education in India. Coming at a critical time in the educational calendar, there are various questions that are fueling the online education industry which has both the ability and the technical knowhow to scale up rapidly. While the schools and colleges have been closed, everyone has adopted to online education. The move has benefited the education online firms as parents have understood the style of study and the system during the lockdown. Flowbook an online education platform of ‘back to basics’ firm carried out a survey to understand online education, its reach and benefits to the students and the parents.

Flowbook got the survey done through India intentions by Pramanya Strategy consulting. The survey had both a qualitative and quantitative approach with a representative sample of 10,000 spread across India. It was conducted via a telephonic conversation with parents and the results obtained are at a 95 percent confidence interval with a margin of error + or _- 2 % 

Flowbook regarding expectation of parents with online education in India found that Close to 42% of the parents in the country trust education apps recommended by schools and teachers. Also, almost 38% of the parents look for value for money while 28% placed an emphasis on course content.

Interestingly, 54% of the parents are aware and are very clear on what to expect from an online or ed-tech company. Another 18% of the parents look for accessibility and convenience. And a whopping 44% make their decision based on the Customer experience provided and the home environment so that their children can easily adopt to the app.

According to him, almost all the current models of education are heavily inclined on Learning. There is no dearth of learning modules or access to information if a kid really wants to learn.
