Some people assume I have something against Byju’s.
I don’t! I have a lot of respect for Byju, but am disappointed that he is putting his investors first, to maximise his profits, at the expense of his students.
As a teacher, my hope was that he would use the tons of money he has raised to help students to become independent learners, so they are equipped to cope with life’s challenges.
Like Salman Khan, he has a chance to reinvent education, rather than just become very rich!
And if entrepreneurs like him don’t reinvent the educational system, then who will?
