"The future of work consists of learning a living" writes Marshall McLuhan. With the rapid advancement in technology, the future of education holds exciting prospects shaped by technology and evolving educational paradigms. Artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and personalized learning platforms are poised to revolutionize how individuals acquire knowledge. With a focus on values, interdisciplinary skills and adaptability, the education of the future aims to prepare students for dynamic, fast-paced environments where responsible critical and inventive thinking will take centre stage. Lifelong learning is becoming integral, fostering a culture where individuals continuously upskill and reskill. Collaboration between humans and advanced technologies will redefine traditional classrooms, offering immersive and engaging educational experiences. As we embrace the future of education, the emphasis on responsible critical and inventive thinking, creativity and digital literacy will be paramount, empowering learners to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
