A well rounded education is typically tied to the quality of a school’s available resources, assess a student’s progress and facilitate the learning process. It is important to create the right environment for learning to take place.

However, with the advent of technology and the wonders it has been doing to societies which make it the centre of their economic policies, education is seen to have a breadth of life once it is rooted in technology.
