The
education system is profoundly going into transformation in both developing and
developed countries. The fact is that knowledge is imparted with the help of
technology. Only education provides solutions to new problems. The drastic
development ultimately brings social change in the lives of people. Moreover,
the rapid changes in the education system influence the economy. Lifelong
learning is the need of the hour. It can be achieved through current ongoing
trends in the education system like online learning, and self-learning by using
modern technology. The advancement in technology changes labor skills therefore
human capital is going to be adjusted to new conditions of economic activities.
Nowadays, the main trend in the global labor market gets more focus on an
innovative economy. It can be possible through learning in accordance with
global trends. Artificial intelligence, autonomous robots, the Internet, cloud
computing, and virtual reality are the future of education areas. One of the
current challenges for third-world countries is their innovative economy.
Highly adaptive skills through learning can uplift the GDP of the countries.
The
more strong economy, the more adaptive skills of people to global changes. This
transition sets a trend and improves the entire running system.
Six
global trends are currently on the rise and have the potential to transform the
globe. However, education can only cope with all new problems;
1) Population
Explosion
2) Rise
of smart machines and systems
3) Social
intelligence
4) Globalization
5) New
media ecology
6) Climate change
Some current challenges for education are
political and social instability in the world. Wars, pandemics, and total fertility
rates directly impact the education system.
Wars’ impact on education
According to UN data, 5.5
million people of Ukraine left the country due to Russia’s invasion on
24 Februray’2022. Many students become refugees and get relocation due to war. The
same situation went with Afghanistan after America’s withdrawal of troops in
August’2021. They left the country into barren land. Aforementioned current
global changes set the trends in the education system. Wars destabilize
countries but the development of skills with relevant time secure progress. At
that time, online teaching methods support the discontinued channel of
education. Rapid social changes cannot be tackled if learning is not compatible
with current global changes.
Pandemics impact on education
Pandemics, the recent viral disease
Covid-19, turns the world into a new shape. The old systems get new ways that
transition increases digital trends more around the globe, primarily, in the
education system. Underdeveloped and developed nations get to progress through
digital systems. The running systems
cannot be stopped so education gives learning and solution. Digital trend
eliminates many old ways like traditional teaching methods, and earning ways by
using technology. An improved system of Russian vocational training considers a
major factor in economic development. It is currently recognized through the
globalization process. Globalization means the interaction, interdependence,
and integration among people, organizations, and governments worldwide. This
method directly recognizes national education system of the country.
Total Fertility Rate (TFR) impact
on education
Along with global changes and trends, Total Fertility Rate (TFR) drastically changes in every region. TFR represents the number of children that would be born to a woman if she were to live to the end of her childbearing years. United Nations estimated that the global population may increase from 7.8 billion in 2020 to 10.9 billion in 2100. 40% increase in population must influence social issues. Investment in education will be a great challenge for many states. Education can provide awareness to remote areas about the fertility rate impact in societyviaa digital approach. Taking the example of the Philippines Total Fertility Rate is influenced by race, place of residence, and educational attainment level. Learning ways have been transformed by rapid social changes. GDP, female expected years of schooling, and the Human Development Index are indicators of a progressive state. For educators, it is important to change traditional ways of imparting knowledge to people. In a nutshell, global changes and trends in the education system give new ways likewise education also provides new implementation methods either in a modern economy, pandemics, wars, and the impact of increasing population. The learning skills flourish with transition in developed regions, however, developing states still need more improvement. Global changes set trends in the education system and only education provides solutions to every rapid social change. Therefore, lifelong learning with adaptive skills can overcome every challenge.
