This Is How Education Will Look Like In 10 Years

Education's Future


We live in an unusual time. At the rate the technology is progressing, it is hard to comprehend where we would be in the future. Everything is changing. We have gone from VR headsets to the recently introduced Metaverse. This change will affect everything from industries to businesses. There is an ongoing debate on education and its future in the coming 10 years. This article will talk about how education will look like in 10 years with our rapid change and progress.


Technological Outburst


We have come a long way in our progress. Throughout history, technology has helped us fight the devastating reality that is life. Be it pandemics, epidemics, the technological revolution has helped humanity survive. However, things are changing now and at such a rapid pace that it is hard to see where we are headed.


Education, in particular, has seen a dynamic change over the years. For a long time, we were accustomed to physical classrooms and black/whiteboards. However, after the advent of the internet and its propagation, education has seen a new face in the guise of online learning. Turns out, students can easily learn from do my online class. They don’t need to attend universities to get an education. The coronavirus pandemic has indefinitely proved this narrative as education institutions adopted hybrid learning models.


For Students


In 10 years, things will be different for students. They will be part of a history we couldn’t possibly comprehend. Even today, the concept of traditional education, at least the way we saw it, is changing. We still have no idea what shape it will take at the end. Critics have predicted some of the differences we might see in our educational sphere.


Different Classrooms


The concept of classrooms will disappear. Now, if you say this to a person who attended college regularly, you might find their expressions surprising. What we remember from our traditional days is that you have to attend college and keep your attendance full. We remember classrooms, desks, and our journals. However, all that will most probably be gone as our world enters into a new realm of education. 


There might be no classrooms. There might be no need to attend physical classes. Classrooms will mean something different to students who are going to come after us. The norms of varsity and college will shape into something different than what we were used to. 


Different Modes of Learning


We have recently seen schools trying different technologies and gadgets into their teaching mode, VR headsets being one of them. Students are being taught through electronic devices, which improve not only the engagement of students but the overall learning experience. 


Artificial Intelligence has seen a rapid increase, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see AI making its way into our education system. There is a plethora of online AI-driven academic software that students can easily take the benefit from. These applications help students in their studies, something which wasn’t available in the past. Technology is changing the dynamics of education, providing ease to students worldwide.


There will be No Paper and Pens


We couldn’t have imagined going to school without our books and pens. In fact, we liked to prepare our bags, getting the best pens and journals for the school. Nowadays, we do see laptops commonly in the hands of undergrad students. However, in 10 years, we might be looking at no pens and no paper in the hands of our students. 


Everything will be digital, from taking notes to reading curriculum books. The future is of tablets, laptops, and VR headsets. Students will experience education in a different way than their predecessors, and technology will have a foundational play in that.


For Teachers


The change will impact everybody, and that includes the teachers. Teachers would have to sacrifice a lot when it comes to these changes. There might be no physical spaces for teachers to conduct their classes. They might have to develop strategies to maintain engagement in the ‘classes.’ There will be several challenges and opportunities for teachers in the coming 10 years.


They Would Have to Improve Adaptability


It is not easy to adapt to new changes. As far as teachers are concerned, going digital is not an easy feat for them. If we are accustomed to a certain lifestyle, adapting to another one in a short span of time will provide difficulties. When the coronavirus pandemic hit, the world was shut down, and the only thing possible for the wheel of progress to move was going digital. The same is the case with technology. Teachers would have to adapt to the newer ways of teaching, which can be both challenging and rewarding.
