Key attributes that schools should start adopting which will help the education system revolutionize immensely in the future.

Flexible paths, project-based and experiential learning :
Schools in the future will have to conduct most of its teaching outside the classroom, with the help of technology or through hands-on experience, students will be ‘out there’ in the world much more, to do their learning.

Custom-made learning depending on one’s own pace :
As classrooms grow bigger, even the best schools have less individual time to devote to a child’s progress, a root cause that has fuelled the boom in tuition classes. Parents think that more personal attention and time should be devoted to their child; can help to strengthen the areas and concepts where they are weak. On the other hand, technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning make it easier for us to assess a kid’s weaknesses and strengths with accuracy and focus on learning in areas where it is needed.

Monitoring will be more important:
Schools in the future will have to rely on technology as they can get appropriate solutions for their problems designed in conjunction with inputs from educationists. All advanced technologies will help the school monitor a student’s real capacity, abilities, and inclinations.

More inclusive approach and choice of subjects to students :
As India increases in prosperity and connectivity, there will be an onus on future schools to reach out to the less privileged as well. Schools have access to the most up-to-date subjects and courses, a skilled teaching resource, and a strong talent pool in the form of parents. Schools are in a unique position to bring together different stakeholders who can bring a change.

Helping students learn about the 5th dimension- Entrepreneurship:
The youth today want to pursue their dream, even if it means walking an unconventional path. Entrepreneurship has a direct connection with your business enterprise. Schools need to help students learn entrepreneurship from higher secondary schools, so that they will have an extra edge.
