As part of Adobe’s Asia-Pacific-wide study titled “Education, Creativity and Employability”, Adobe has unveiled the findings for India. 178 educators from across India participated in the study from 7th to 18th March, 2014.
Educators in India lead the region in their support for both creative expressions in the classroom as well as the use of creative tools to clarify concepts. An overwhelming 97 per cent of respondents feel that creative tools help students to better grasp theoretical concepts and enhance their overall understanding in the classroom.
Educators also noted the gaps in the current education system in the country as 31 per cent strongly felt that it does not place enough emphasis on creative expression. However, they are slightly more than the rest of APAC, where the average was 37 per cent.
With 66 per cent of respondents who strongly agree, India is also ahead of the APAC average of 58 per cent in understanding the importance of basic digital media skills for the workforce.
Commenting on the study, Kulmeet Bawa, Head – Enterprise Sales, Adobe South Asia, said, “Our vision at Adobe is to align students and careers by providing them with the tools and skills that will help them to evolve their capabilities through the education system and beyond into their workplace. We are working closely with education institutions in India at all levels to transform teaching and learning, and empowering educators to not only unleash their full potential, but to realize the full potential of their students.”
The “Education, Creativity and Employability” study is based on an extensive survey of educators across Asia-Pacific, covering 13 countries (Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam).
