How technology is spearheading the educational revolution

Most Read

The advent of COVID-19 has brought about breakthrough changes in the lives of people. Technology has been at the cusp, leading the way ahead for transition through these changes. Where workplaces adopted technology with alacrity for seamless functioning, the education system could not fall behind in the league and was agile enough to harness the benefits of this progressive shift. 

Had it not been for the digital transformation, conducting classes would have become a lost battle. It would have been impossible to teach students effectively. Especially amidst the disruption experienced due to the pandemic-imposed lockdown, virtual classes emerged as the most viable option. Education experts and teachers believe that this disruption revolutionised the education sector and geared up the process of adopting the much-needed changes that were in alignment with the modern world. It gave e-learning a phenomenal push that otherwise would have taken another decade to make its importance felt in the education system.

Teaching before technological advancements was very monotonous, which laid great emphasis on rote learning that resulted in lack of  clarity on concepts. It was a very exhaustive method based on memorisation and repetition. This method of brick-and-mortar learning had no space for creative thinking and innovation. 

The technological revolution has ushered fundamental structural changes in the sector and has been integral in increasing the efficiency of the system. It has changed the teaching and learning experience for both teachers and students. It has given access to creative content, resources, and systems which helped the teaching fraternity in improving their instructions. The teachers now use video lessons, presentations, smart boards, online quizzes and games, and online worksheets to not only connect better with their students but also to make the learning process fun for them.

More learning opportunities are being created with the help of unlimited availability of online resources. This has made accessibility to resource material easy, which could be obtained anytime and anywhere. This also provides students with the necessary mental space and pace to learn things at their own comfort and speed. Consequently, this has a positive impact on the students’ ability to understand, remember, and retain concepts.

Additionally, the new age technologies help teachers with the data required to personalize their content to suit the varied speed and style of each student. Various online tools assist the teachers in improving their pedagogy, which helps students in understanding concepts better.

Technology also comes with enhanced and better assessment methods, which reduces the unnecessary burden on the teachers. Online assessment tools save teachers the long hours which would have otherwise been spent in maintaining records of students manually. Now, teachers are able to channelise their energy into strategizing better teaching methods. 

The paradigm shift of education towards technologically oriented learning has increased learning productivity by reducing the unnecessary burdens on both teachers and students. Technology has the potential to spearhead learning and skill training that is in line with the real-world requirements.

COP28 UAE: SANY Promotes Green Manufacturing Transformation, Takes Concrete Action to Tackle Climate Challenges

CHANGSHA, China, Nov. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SANY Group, ("SANY"), a globally leading enterprise of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry, is accentuating advancing sustainable development and the green manufacturing transformation of the heavy machinery industry, ahead of the COP28 UAE, that is set to take place from November 30 to December 12 in Dubai. The theme of the 13-day program this year is "Actionism," calling for people to rise to meet the climate change challenges.

The COP28 will center on four major paradigm shifts – namely accelerating the transition from fossil fuels, agreeing on climate finance shifts, emphasizing the role of people and nature in climate action, and ensuring the summit is an inclusive event that women, indigenous people, local communities, youth, countries and more can all be a part of.

SANY is responding actively and positively to the summit's agenda with concrete actions to promote the transformation of green manufacturing, bringing sustainable solutions to the industries of mining, construction, wind power, and more.

Taking green actions to build a sustainable future

SANY is vigorously expanding the use of green energy (renewables such as solar and wind) in production processes to reduce the reliance on traditional energy sources, lower carbon emissions, and support climate change actions. It has adopted multiple initiatives, especially in accelerating the R&D and application of wind energy, hydrogen, and electrification solutions, and achieved significant results.

SANY's subsidiary SANY Renewable Energy has been investing in and constructing wind farms to boost the proportion of wind power in the energy structure, through intelligent upgrades in manufacturing and creating intelligent workshops. By doing this, SANY Renewable Energy has reduced the overall unit energy consumption and carbon emissions by 15 percent compared to pre-upgrade.

In 2022, SANY has added more than 3,000 energy metering connections. SANY built China's first intelligent mixing station park and invested 3.22 million yuan in photovoltaic construction that will produce 900,000 kWh of power annually. The park will cut 887 tons of carbon emission, 242 tons of dust emissions, 26.7 tons of sulfide, and 13.4 tons of nitric oxide to achieve synergetic development of intelligent manufacturing and environmental conservation.

A total of 11 subsidiaries of SANY have installed photovoltaic power generation equipment, with clean energy usage amounting to 16.013 million kWh.

SANY is actively engaged in the R&D of hydrogen fuel cell technology to improve battery efficiency, reduce cost, and boost the production and storage capabilities, while expanding the applications of hydrogen energy.

Innovation-driven climate action tackles industry bottlenecks

Through establishing a green supply chain, SANY adopts renewable materials and environmentally friendly technologies to reduce resource waste and improve the sustainability of the supply chain.

SANY continues to improve the long-term mechanism for pollution prevention and control, strengthen the control of waste emissions including water, gas, and other hazardous substances, and be cautious of business and operation actions that could damage the ecological environment. In 2022, the group's wastewater and gas emissions met the standard rate of 100 percent, with a 100 percent compliance rate for hazardous waste disposal.

The group is also pushing for using environment-friendly materials to minimize pollution, so that the carbon reduction throughout the product life cycle also includes materials. In 2022, its VOCs emission density was 0.0011 tons per million revenue, a 39.71 percent reduction from the base year.

Meanwhile, the continuous upgrade of production techniques and processes, promotion of energy conservation technologies, and advancement of low-carbon technology development are not only playing key roles in improving production efficiency, but also reducing carbon footprint and aims to reach the "dual-carbon" goals.

Calling for the public's participation

SANY has been carrying out training programs and campaigns centered on environmental protection for employees, while further raising community engagement in terms of green, low-carbon, community-friendly, and educational innovation agendas. In 2022, the company employees completed 687.4 hours of volunteer work, and SANY invested 9.75 million yuan in the year to support 15 public welfare projects.

SANY Construction Industry is leading the green technology application in urban infrastructure construction to accelerate the sustainable development of cities and building intelligent cities, green transportation systems, and energy-conserving architectures to reduce energy consumption, improving urban environment quality and people's livelihoods.

In terms of biodiversity and sustainable development, SANY emphasizes the conservation of soil, ocean, crops, and animals to create a better future, and advocates a circular economy to decrease the waste of resources.

In the context of increasingly severe issues of global climate change, SANY, as a leader in the green industry, is committed to promoting sustainable development and actively joining global efforts to address climate change through comprehensive initiatives such as green supply chains, green energy, and carbon emission reduction.
