Education Demands of the FutureBy Abel MerawiJanuary 16, 2020 (Ezega.com) -- The advantages of human beings over animals has been a topic of discussion for generations. Thus, the curriculum is expected to evolve as society changes so as to meet the demands of the present and future. Accordingly, the education of children has to prepare students for such a future by shifting the focus from specialization to multitasking that demands creativity. Thus, education should not just prepare students for the predictable future; it should help them use their minds to become the architects of the future. Hence a democratic society must, in consistency with its ideal, allow for intellectual freedom and the play of diverse gifts and interests in its educational measures.” With a promise of treating specific issues related to education in the future, I end my writing by stressing that the future demands creative thinkers that can shape the future, and an education that understands this need is a prerequisite.
