Forget everything you know and remember about school: no classroom teaching, no timetable, not even classrooms – but instead lots of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR). This is what our education system – or rather the way we learn – should look like in thirty years.
Verena overslept again! Her father reminded her that night to set the alarm! Doesn’t matter, the twelve-year-old thinks, gets out of bed and shuffles into the bathroom. Shower, brush your teeth, put contact lenses in your eyes and have breakfast. Then she puts on her virtual reality glasses and presses the power button. What’s on the curriculum today? The school day can finally start – whether it’s 8am or 10am, it doesn’t matter much.
Because in the year 2050, Verena is living and learning in ways we can’t even imagine today. She takes classes from home; she does not have a set class schedule, but rather curricula tailored specifically to her needs and which she follows at her own pace. In 30 years, everything will look completely different – or will it? How British futurologist Tracey Follows sees the future of our education system and what education experts say about it.
