Parents in India say a mix of digital & experiential learning is best for children: HP study


BENGALURU: Parents in India believe a mix of digital and experiential learning is best in making their kids future-ready, shows a survey by HP.

The company today announced key India-specific findings of the HP New Asian Learning Experience Study, which explores how the personalities of Asian millennial parents define learning for their children.

“The study helps us understand the evolving mindsets of parents around learning and development of their children,” said Sumeer Chandra, managing director of HP India. “This allows us to provide better technology solutions that enhance learning, augment skills, and serve as foundational tools for children’s growth.”

The study finds that 22.7% of respondent parents in India are extremely concerned about their children’s future. Of all parents in Asia, they are ready to make the broadest range of sacrifices to ensure the right skilling of their kids for future jobs. These sacrifices entail investments made in tuitions, moving homes and family abroad, borrowing money/taking loans and sending children abroad.

While parents in India believe that digital technology can expose their children to new cultures and ideas, they also believe that such exposure should be closely monitored and moderated. The impact of experiential learning is complementary to digital learning as it provides knowledge along with the idea of implementation which aids in the overall development of children.

The HP survey engaged 3,177 respondents across India, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines aged between 25 and 42 with at least one child. The survey was conducted from November to December 2018.
