Listen, folks, we’ve got a situation with education, a big situation. The pandemic, it hit us hard, especially our schools, our universities. They had to move fast, really fast, to get these e-learning platforms up and running. And they did it, but let me tell you, there’s room for improvement, a lot of room. We’re talking about quality, top-notch quality that our students deserve.
So, we did this study, a fantastic study, at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila in Bucharest. We had 114 students, great students, telling us what they think about these platforms. And we listened, we always listen. We used this incredible tool, IBM SPSS, to crunch the numbers, to really get into the details.
And what did we find? We found that we can do better, much better. The interface, it’s got to be user-friendly, really sleek. The educational materials, they need to be top of the line, presented in a way that’s engaging. And communication, it’s key, absolutely key. Teachers and students, they’ve got to connect, really connect.
But we’re not stopping there, no way. We’re talking about adding blogs, forums, mobile apps – all the tools to make information flow, to make it integrative. We’re going to take these e-learning platforms and make them incredible, the best. Because that’s what our young people need, and that’s what we’re going to give them.
