ACCORDING TO A NEW POLL OF 2,000 PARENTS, MORE THAN TWO THIRDS USE IT TO AID THEIR CHILD’S LEARNING (59%) AND READING (41%), SOMETIMES BEFORE THEY’RE IN THE CLASSROOM.

CONDUCTED BY ONEPOLL ON BEHALF OF DUOLINGO ABC, RESULTS SHOWED THAT ONE-QUARTER OF PARENTS WEREN’T USING TECHNOLOGY AS LEARNING TOOLS WHEN THEY WERE THEIR CHILD’S AGE.

BUT 60% BELIEVE THEIR CHILD IS PROGRESSING FASTER BECAUSE OF IT

82% OF PARENTS BELIEVE THEY WOULD HAVE BENEFITTED FROM TECH LEARNING TOOLS WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER 

MOST PARENTS (74%) SAY TECH MAKES PARENTING LESS STRESSFUL, USING IT TO TEACH THEIR KIDS SOMETHING NEW LIKE A SECOND LANGUAGE OR MUSIC (79%)

THIS MAY BE WHY 81% BELIEVE IT IS THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION.
