The last three years of the COVID pandemic have shattered millions of lives. It has also jolted every sector of our society and economy, including the three-century-old educational system. The pandemic has transformed our societies, educational system, healthcare, and every other business sector in unprecedented ways. It has also brought shocking awareness about the frailty of human life on this planet.
The pandemic also forced the development of new technologies that have put us on a new digital trajectory. The Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data Analytics (BDA), Machine Learning, and Metaverse are changing the way we think about our world. There is little doubt that in the post-COVID era, innovations, and new technologies, such as ChatGPT and other AI products and services will change the industrial-era educational systems we have become comfortable with. These new trends are driving new modes of teaching and learning. This shift towards a more skills-based and problem-solving-focused approach to education is crucial in preparing students for the rapidly changing and technology-driven workforce. It should also cultivate critical thinking and creativity, essential 21st-century skills.
