As the world is changing rapidly, education needs to change itself, reinventing itself. The world is becoming smaller due to access to transportation and new media. The world we are living in now is the world under the post-globalization era, with more emphasis on localization and diversity.

The world we are now in is not stable. It is full of uncertainties / disruption - known as the VUCA world. Solution, possible solution is that we need to be adaptive, agility is needed, we need to be agile, ready to learn new things.




Here are some trends:

1.  Schools - new forms of learning, schools as we have known + 100 years are gradually disappearing (schooling is dying out). Learning is still important. 

2. Technologies (Rise of Machines) - use of new technologies (Digital Transformation) - Anywhere and anytime - known as perpetual learning

3. New assessment (Less - A-B-C-D) , we have been misled by some for so long.

4. Education will become more privatized with various forms of education. Self-education is a new trend.

5. Truth - from sciences not religions

6. Home schooling with the aid of telecommunication technologies

7. New roles of teachers. Inspire me and give me freedom - new students (new generations)

Factors

- Individualism - Self-learning through new media. Contents are everywhere.

- Digitization - perpetual learning

- Digital mindset - fast-cheap-good

- Commercialization

- Urbanization

- Climate change 

- VUCA World - Disruptive and uncertain 









Keys

1. As far as I could remember, The society (nowadays) is full of people learning -less teaching (in schools or colleges). This is evidenced before our own eyes.


2.
