Section 1 Reimagined learning ecosystem

Background

Schools as we know them today began in earnest to look this way in the era of the industrial
revolution. ‘This way’, will refer to the teacher centric setup.

Future learning ecosystem re-imagined

This write-up will endeavor to propose a new imagined

learning ecosystem for the future. Prior to outlining how
this type of school would function, it is necessary to
juxtapose current trends with expected future models.

Adults passing knowledge to the young ones is an advantage as they can deliver

their own experiences and help young ones develop faster.
The current models are aligned to the current trends in the workforce, the strict
discipline in starting time, breaks and ending time.

The curriculum is static, responding slowly to future trends and changes in the
social demands dynamics.

What is expected in the future school?

While adult supervision may be desirable to adults, future learners will not
necessarily need people from another age group to lecture to them as they

develop their own thought processes at a faster rate than any other generation
