Future Schools and Key Competences for Lifelong Learning

Future of Schools

School future: Now we will talk about the progress of the school; we will talk about schools in the future. We know that education is very different from the education of the past. Now it's a safe and comfortable place; before, students often did not want to attend school. Therefore, we will see schools as dynamic spaces where technology will be very important in learning. Furthermore, I think that classroom tables will have digital tools so that class information is adapted to the needs of each individual student. At the same time, schools will no longer use subject content to teach; I think they will apply it to real-world situations and solve problems. In other words, there will be greater emphasis on the development of soft skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. In addition, students will be able to meet people from all over the world through digital screens. In conclusion, I do not fully agree with what will happen to schools in the future. It's good that students can meet other people around the world, but I think this may create technological dependency for them.
