1. Why Schools Are Right to Be Sceptical of EdTech

Why Schools Are Right to Be Sceptical of EdTech

Inside the Schools

The hardest thing for an education technology company to earn is not a contract.

It is trust.

And schools have good reasons to be cautious.

A school is not a simple environment with only one type of user or one objective. It is a complex ecosystem where the needs of many stakeholders intersect.

Teachers want technology that saves time rather than creates more work.
Students need an experience that is intuitive, engaging and useful.
Administrators and school leaders need visibility, reliable reporting and better oversight.
Parents want confidence that the technology is genuinely supporting their children.
At the same time, the platform must remain aligned with evolving syllabi, assessment requirements and the realities of daily school operations.

With so many different needs to accommodate, education software cannot remain static.
A system may appear suitable during the first discussion but already feel outdated by the time it is implemented. This is especially true if the product stops evolving while the school continues to change.

This is one reason the education sector is understandably sceptical of SaaS platforms.
At Akademi AI, we do not treat our platform as a finished product.

Our annual package includes continuous system updates at no additional cost. We also actively seek feedback from teachers, students and school leaders because their experiences help determine what we improve next.

Earlier this year, we launched a completely revamped AKAMI V2. It is a faster, more effective, more intuitive and more responsive platform designed around the needs of real school environments.
Our partner schools that have been with us from the beginning were automatically upgraded. They did not have to purchase a separate version or remain on an outdated system.

Because the schools that trusted us from the start should not be left behind by the progress they helped inspire.
Good education technology should not expect an entire school ecosystem to adapt around its limitations.

It should continuously evolve with the people it serves.

The question schools should ask is not only:

“What can this platform do today?”

But also:

“Will it continue improving with us tomorrow?”
