The ways of engaging students are undergoing a transformation. What was once seen as mere participation has evolved into a dynamic concept in modern education, where students are active participants in their learning journey. In line with this evolution, educators, administrators and policymakers are increasingly embracing new pedagogical approaches that emphasize collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. On that note, the student engagement market in Canada is expected to reach $4.28 billion by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 20.4 percent.
The market's growth is driven by an increasing focus on holistic wellbeing and personalized learning, which has resulted in the integration of wellness programs and diverse learning opportunities. This shift towards student-centered approaches has redefined educators' roles as facilitators of learning rather than sole providers of knowledge. The widespread adoption of interactive digital platforms, virtual reality simulations and collaborative learning practices further contribute to the market's expansion.
