The annual BETT event earlier this year, gathered educators, IT providers, and ministries from around the world, focusing on presenting, discussing, and exchanging insights to enhance the learning journey for the next generation.

This year, CONTEXT took the stage to present an insightful overview of the state of education technology in Southeast Asia. Collaborating with industry figures like Rupert Daniels, Thea Wiltshire, and Dr. Mohd Rozi Ismail, the session highlighted the diverse and heterogeneous nature of the region.

Sustainability emerged as a crucial theme, with CONTEXT presenting the varying levels of importance placed on sustainable objectives by the education community. The focus on recyclability, reuse of components, e–waste reduction, repairability, energy consumption, and packaging showcased the community’s commitment to long–term success and impact.

CONTEXT’s role in presenting the state of education technology in Southeast Asia underscores its dedication to driving positive change. The global perspective showcased the diverse characteristics of the world while emphasizing the common goal shared by educational technology–to shape the future for thousands of students.

This year’s exhibition spotlighted Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a game–changer. Unlike previous concerns about the negative impact of AI, BETT 2024 discussions painted it as an opportunity for teachers, students, and the education community to shift their focus from “what” to “why” in teaching. Access to AI–generated content was presented as a means to foster understanding, reflectiveness, and critical thinking among learners.

The insights and innovations shared at the event are set to shape the future of education, setting the stage for a more engaging, sustainable, and technologically advanced learning environment for generations to come.
