Think Tank Needed For EdTech Sector

Lincoln Method’s Chairman, Mr. Saleem Qureshi has voiced out the need to create a think tank that can study the challenges and the future of education. Mr. Qureshi has also started discussing the concept of a think tank with his strategic partner, Mr. Luis Anastacio of SFI Group, and both leaders have agreed to allocate resources towards building a think tank.

Both Mr. Qureshi and Mr. Anastacio have invested in an EdTech startup in Singapore called SkillUpz. It would be advantageous to have the SkillUpz EdTech offerings be nurtured by a mature thought process that can be provided through a think tank.

One of things that the think tank will study is how to morph education techniques so that they are more aligned the younger generation. “There is no point in trying to force the younger generation to learn in the same way that we did, rather we cater the younger generation’s neuroplasticity” Mr. Qureshi continued saying, “since everything that we do is being touched by technology and is evolving, then why should education techniques stagnate”.

There is a lot of support for what Mr. Qureshi is saying and if a think tank is created it will have its work cut out for itself.
