Students in classrooms of tomorrow can look forward to working with artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), coding, automation and machine learning (ML), and start creating their own digital content, collaborating more with their peers and others, located at various corners of the globe. This way students can simultaneously contribute to their learning experience and their assessments will be based on experiences gained, from field projects to experiments.
Technology will be accessible and affordable for all students, enabling them to explore cybersecurity and develop the rhetoric to monitor, detect and respond to cybersecurity threats.
The future of education will concentrate more on developing talent and new professions that will cater to the workforce of the future.
