In Lit\u2019EDTech Fiesta\u00a0episode\u00a01<\/strong>, Daastan<\/a> brings together three passionate educationists. They navigate the relationship between education and technology in a pandemic-ridden world<\/em>. Ms. Zehra Arshad <\/strong>is\u00a0a veteran of the education sector. Thus, she brings in precise insight on the issues plaguing the education system. Furthermore, she widens the discourse by elevating it to a global level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Mujtaba Zaidi <\/strong>is\u00a0an educationist attempting to challenge the stereotypical representation of arts. Therefore, he brings in critical discourse surrounding the need for redistribution of resources. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, we have with us\u00a0Ms. Hafsa Shah. Ms. Shah\u00a0<\/strong>is\u00a0a government university lecturer. Thus, she highlights issues of quantity and quality as well as accessibility. <\/span><\/p>\n

Educational Landscape at the Grassroots Level<\/h2>\n

All three panelists focus specifically on the unimaginable disparity between the mainstream and marginalized groups in terms of the educational opportunities. As Ms. Arshad states, \u201cnational educational policies are constructed in an isolated manner.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Consequently, the on-ground situation is negated. Therefore, the gap between policy change and efficient implementation is further widened.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
