The implementation of hybrid learning models has facilitated enhanced connectivity between students and educators, thereby expanding access to quality educational resources across diverse geographical locations,” he said.
“AI-powered tools and data analytics have personalized learning pathways, helping students achieve their full potential while bridging learning gaps. Moreover, the growing emphasis on skill-based education has aligned academic curricula with industry demands, fostering employability and entrepreneurship.
