We asked two experts. Here's what they said:
Patrick K. Fletcher, futurologist
“Learning in 2050, say, will probably be very different to how it is now.
I don't think the education system we have today will still exist. In my opinion, education will focus on e-learning, and students will attend virtual classrooms. I think students will connect to the internet using artificial intelligence, so they won't need to remember facts anymore. Actual schools and classrooms will probably be very rare. I believe the few schools that still exist will be for children from rich families, and they will mainly have robot teachers. But children with special needs will still go to school with actual teachers because I don't think robots can take care of the children yet.”
Shara Nguyễn, Vice Principal, Everlake School
“We started testing a variety of e-learning technologies about a year ago to find out what really works. For example, we tried a variety of apps for giving and marking assignments. Our studies showed that both teachers and students found these very useful, and the cost was reasonable, so I think we're going to see a lot of schools doing this in future. We also had good success with interactive whiteboards, but right now they are too expensive, and most schools in our area can't afford more than one or two for the whole school. We're definitely not going to see them in all schools for a long time.”
