Breaking t he Mould & Rewiring Management Education

Introduction: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, release of New Education Policy and entry of the new generation - Gen Z, who are "location-aware" and speaks a “technological-language” in higher education as well as in work force has posed a challenge to not only educational institutes but also to recruiters. These Gen Zer’s are not fascinated to attend classes, listening to lectures, preparing notes, or mugging up for exams, In Its Place, they wish to participate in the learning process by doing practical things themselves. This necessitates a reflection on our teaching practices and learning environment to keep the students engaged in the classroom. Objective & Methodology: This paper will review Generation Z’s learning preferences from the existing literature as well as by way of an online survey to uncover some of the complex realities and challenges faced when educating Generation Z.

Findings: It was found that there is a need to alter approaches of teaching to align to the beliefs and learning styles of these Generation Z. Teaching practices, course matter, and goals needs revamping to make it pertinent and connecting to this new generation of learners.
