Why I think Technology ALONE cannot solve our educational crisis?

By Shekar Hariharan | Sep 19, 2016

The other day I had a wonderful interaction with children to whom life had deprived everything and yet were attending “school”. I was learning that they have to work harder in “reconciling” what the education tends to teach and the “harsh realities” they witness each day in their own homes and surroundings.
