Education 4.0

Abstract

Education 4.0 is a revolutionary response to the 4IR (fourth industrial revolution). Education is a tool for societal development. Automation and digitalization of industry have given an edge to human potential, and to tap it, education 4.0 comes to the fore. Now, the objective of education is to explore the learning process to its fullest and create a constantly evolving learning community in place of a knowledge-based community. The whole education system, from objectives to evaluation, has changed drastically. The learning process has reached up to the meta-cognition level of the brain. Today's key factors of this process are re-inventing the objective, re-skilling & re-assessing the evaluation process, and achieving a new pinnacle and dimension of learning. Education 4.0 is aimed towards Generation-Z which has completely different aspirations and expectations. Soft skills also gain importance along with hard skills. Creativity, emotional intelligence, social interest skills are a must for the new and evolving professions of the future. The role of the teacher will be that of a facilitator and students will take the helm in his/her learning chariot.
