By Gloria Mathias
January 24 marks International Education Day, a momentous occasion proclaimed by the United Nations to recognise education’s vital role in fostering peace, development, and equality. Established in 2018, this day underscores the global community’s commitment to ensuring inclusive and equitable education for all—a key goal within the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
In a rapidly developing nation like India, education is not just a tool but the cornerstone of economic progress and societal transformation. With a burgeoning population striving for knowledge-driven opportunities, financial constraints often pose significant challenges to students and families. Here, FinTech companies are stepping up as enablers of change. Through innovative solutions like education loans, fee management systems, remittance platforms, and savings tools, they are dismantling financial barriers and expanding access to quality education.
As India aspires to become a global economic powerhouse, prioritising education is non-negotiable. Education fuels innovation, nurtures skilled talent, and paves the way for equitable growth, empowering individuals and communities alike.
