Education is the passport out of poverty, but not everyone is eligible to apply.<\/p>\n

Three barriers hold education back in Asia. First is access to education; second is the quality of provision; and third is the resourcing available in schooling systems.<\/p>\n

By 2026, I believe that technology will have helped tackle these issues. Here is why we at Microsoft are doing all we can to eradicate education inequality across the world.<\/p>\n

Increasing access to education<\/h3>\n

There is a huge disparity between education in cities and regional areas. We need to build a bridge between schools in cities and those in rural settlements. Technology will play a significant role here. Read the full blog<\/a> to learn how technology can increase access to education, regardless of where the student lives.<\/p>\n

Improving the quality of education<\/h3>\n

Technologies like Massive Open Online Courses, Skype, and virtual reality devices such as Hololense can grow the curriculum, provide access to the best teachers around the world, and enable greater creativity in the classroom. Read the full blog<\/a> to learn how technology can improve the quality of education the students receive.<\/p>\n

Maximizing resources<\/h3>\n

Education is focusing less on lesson plans and more about how to improve the student\u2019s ability to learn. Technologies like data and machine learning can help personalize education, prioritize resources, and to enable teachers and parents to monitor the child\u2019s progress in real-time. Read the full blog<\/a> to learn how technology can improve education.<\/p>\n

How to get there<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s return to the basic question: how do you help students learn? Personalized learning is the name of the game. We should help every individual on the planet achieve more, according to their own vision and needs. That\u2019s Microsoft\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

With education, every child can travel to new worlds. Let\u2019s help every child have the adventure of a lifetime. Read Vivek\u2019s full blog<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n
