Do you agree or disagree that in the near future the role of teachers will be taken by the technology?

The rapid advancements in science and the advent of

technologies

such

as artificial intelligence and cellular networks have drastically altered our way of life. The

education

systems and

teachers

are

similarly

affected by these developments, and some even worry that the future of

education

will

further

be reliant on technology rather than educators and tutors. In

this

essay,

however

, I will discuss reasons corroborating my argument that

such

a conclusion may be drawn from faulty assumptions. Those keen to believe that

technologies

will completely replace traditional

education

in the near future usually point out the superiority of artificial intelligence in computationally intensive tasks. Namely, providing

students

with a plethora of resources to read or outlining the key points of an

otherwise

lengthy essay.

Nevertheless

, these enthusiasts fail to pay attention to other areas in that humans far outperform

technologies

,

for instance

, sympathy and understanding individuals. A comprehensive

education

system does not necessarily mean throwing resources at the

students

.

Teachers

are trusted with not only being able to convey complex concepts to the pupils but

also

understanding their psychologies and personality traits. The more educators are aware of

students

' aptitudes, the better the response to

students

' specific and individual needs;

hence

, the need for a sense of empathy, care, and emotions. Another point to consider would be that not all

students

come from similar backgrounds and with somewhat the same capabilities. There are children with learning disabilities,

for example

, dyslexia and ADHD.

Likewise

, others might come from unprivileged backgrounds and abusive households and

therefore

need more attention or even an individualized curriculum designed for their particular needs. In conclusion,

Although

technologies

can surpass humans in tasks that are computation oriented, there are areas in which human tutors and

teachers

are inherently better. In the foreseeable future, and as the pace of technological advancements increases, there will be a more conspicuous need for human-centred

education

systems, and

thus

, a more apparent demand for

teachers

.
