As an education practitioner for many years, I have made some analysis on the future prospects of the education industry and discussed with you:
First, influenced by policies, the education industry will become more and more standardized; This is reflected in:
The Ministry of Education and other four departments jointly rectified the off-campus training institutions for exams;
One is the special rectification of kindergarten primary schools by the Ministry of Education;
One is that private kindergartens are prohibited from listing below the general office of the State Council, and the market value of red, yellow and blue kindergartens is halved;
Since the beginning of this year, the relevant government departments have successively introduced measures to regulate the education market, which shows that the country has realized the disadvantages of exam-oriented education and is trying to make some adjustments and changes. At the same time, it will curb capital overheating and speculate on the education market. In this way, the future education market can be said to be the coexistence of opportunities and crises.
Take kindergarten as an example. Going to primary school is almost mentioned every year, and there is no movement every year. But it seems to be serious this year. Why? Because the file clearly stipulates the time node of special rectification. This means that the whole preschool education is facing reshuffle or upgrading, and it is a problem whether bilingual kindergartens and preschool children can continue to work after class.
What should be taught in kindergartens and primary schools after transformation? This year, the Minister of Education stressed at the two sessions that kindergartens should take games as their basic activities. This is the opportunity, and many game-based teaching AIDS or teaching and research products will be born in the future preschool education market.
Second, the impact of Internet+education on traditional training will be more obvious.
Internet online education breaks through the limitation of time and space, can integrate more international teacher resources, and the teaching method is more flexible, convenient and economical. Judging from the development of the audience, with the post-80s and post-90s parents becoming the new force of education consumption, the ways and means of online education on the Internet are more easily accepted by them, so Internet+education is eroding the traditional teaching and training market and becoming the darling of the capital market. This can be seen from VIPKID's $500 million D+ round of financing in June this year, and the company's valuation exceeds 20 billion yuan. You know, this company has only been born for five years now.
Third, educational ideas will promote innovation and new business models will continue.
Today, VR, artificial intelligence, driverless and other high technologies are rapidly changing the world. But looking back at education itself, we can hardly see that the teaching philosophy and teaching methods have changed much compared with the past, which actually provides rich soil for innovation. Kai-fu Lee of the Innovation Factory said that the investment fields of the Innovation Factory are mainly concentrated in the A-round and B-round companies in five major directions, such as artificial intelligence, education and consumption upgrading.
The author believes that in the next five years, there will be a brand-new model in the field of education, which will bring subversive changes to the relatively backward education industry in terms of ideas and means. The future prospect of the education industry is worth looking forward to!
