Future of Education

The modern world is becoming more complex, and at the same time, more and more fragile. Significant challenges such as ensuring the resilience of multicultural communities, globalisation and urbanisation require new approaches to prepare for the future. It is already obvious that we need a generation of well-educated, critical-thinking, and caring people to start building a healthier society.

Students have very different backgrounds and temperaments. This diversity is entirely natural and should be encouraged to ensure the authenticity of each individual's abilities, but learning it is often difficult. Too much time can be spent on adapting standard educational programs, selecting illustrative materials and overcoming intercultural barriers. In this sense, it is crucial to develop methods for objective testing of a wide range of skills, making learning more personalised while avoiding discrimination.

Educators today have to compete with a massive stream of entertaining and easily accessible content. Therefore, it is important to learn how to use the latest advances in VR / AR and, in particular, the technology of virtual assistants to keep the attention of students and make the most of their curiosity.

The standard roadmap of the educational process - from primary and secondary schools to the university - no longer meets the needs of the time. We believe that the concept of continuous learning pathways is more relevant now, within which training essentially does not stop. Now, this approach is used, for example, for medical professionals. It is clear that the existing courses and approaches to their teaching should be significantly revised to make this format convenient.

Modern academic science is also rapidly changing in the wake of the world it studies and describes. The usual schemes of scientific communication are no longer so effective. Technologies that provide open and fair access to scientific knowledge, the rapid dissemination of the most significant results, and methods of intelligent search in a cumulatively growing body of articles are highly relevant.
