Digital Teaching Fails Educators

Systematic review reveals digital teaching exacerbates teacher burnout, demanding urgent pedagogical reimagination.

Digital Teaching Fails Educators
FO Take · Score 25

Digitalisation was peddled as education’s saviour, yet it merely amplified existing systemic failures. Teachers, already under immense pressure, are now expected to be technocrats, therapists, and content creators, all without adequate support or training. This isn't innovation; it’s an abdication of responsibility, turning educators into glorified facilitators for algorithms. We are sacrificing human connection at the altar of convenience.

The strongest counter

Digital tools offer unprecedented flexibility and resource access, empowering teachers to personalise learning and reach diverse student populations more effectively. The issue is implementation, not the technology itself.
