Checking Cyber Threats: To prevent cyberbullying, monitoring content for material unsuitable for minors, ensuring protection of students from cyberattacks or phishing scams, screening of teachers/ instructors/ content creators, etc. Privacy concerns: Privacy policies of the EdTech companies are indecisive and ambiguous and assume that consent and responsibility lie with the user. Most of the consumers are neither briefed nor have the legal know-how. Neglect of social skills: Many educational theorists, psychologists, and sociologists fear that students learning solely online will suffer from a failure to develop social skills that come only from interacting in person with other people. False promises: Some EdTech companies are luring parents in the garb of offering free services and getting the Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) mandate signed or activating the Auto-debit feature, especially targeting the vulnerable families. Protecting rights of minors: Majority of the EdTech players in India focus on K-12 curriculum and competitive exams training and most of their customers are minors. Under Indian laws, minors (i.e., individuals below the age of 18) are not competent to enter contracts. Social and ethical concerns: Biased content delivery, Implicit influence on career decisions, less upskilling and reskilling of educators, Standardisation, and moderation of content without regulatory approvals etc. Way forward Strengthening digital infrastructure: Need to explore the use of low-cost digital platforms (For Ex Keralas neighbourhood study centres) for dissemination of learning content to the masses knowledge questions magazine buy.
