As the world marks the International Day of Education on January 24, Epson reaffirmed its commitment to supporting education systems through technology, creativity, and balanced learning models that nurture future innovators.

In remarks delivered by Suat Ozsoy, Vice President of Commercial Operations for the Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Central & West Asia, the company highlighted how education is undergoing a profound shift driven by digital transformation, changing learning behaviors, and rising expectations around student well-being.

Today’s classrooms increasingly integrate digital tools to enable collaboration, visualization, and interactive learning. However, educators and parents are also raising important questions about attention span, comprehension, and screen fatigue.

A regional Epson study found that over half of teachers and parents believe schools must rethink traditional teaching models by introducing more engaging and student-centered learning approaches.

The Power of a Blended Learning Model

Rather than replacing traditional methods, the future of education lies in combining digital and printed learning tools. Screens support creativity, visualization, and collaboration, while printed materials encourage deep reading, sustained focus, and reduced eye strain.

This blended approach allows educators to align teaching methods with different learning needs throughout the school day—enhancing engagement while safeguarding student comfort and health.

Enhancing Engagement Through Smart Technology

Interactive projection and display technologies play a critical role in modern education by enabling exploration-based learning. When integrated effectively, they help transform lessons into immersive experiences that strengthen understanding and retention.

Epson’s research shows that 73% of educators and parents view projection technology as essential, while 67% believe it significantly enriches classroom participation and inclusivity.

Creativity as a Foundation for Future Skills

Education extends beyond knowledge transfer—it is about empowering students to think creatively, explore ideas, and adapt confidently to future challenges.

Epson’s collaboration with global icon Shakira reflects this belief, highlighting the importance of imagination, expression, and adaptability in building resilient learners.

Through its comprehensive portfolio—including interactive projection solutions, high-performance inkjet printing, and advanced scanning technologies—Epson supports schools in building flexible, creative, and connected classrooms that inspire meaningful learning experiences.

By thoughtfully integrating digital tools with traditional resources, education systems can create environments where students are equipped not only with knowledge, but with the creativity and confidence needed to shape the future.
