Future Reforms in Education, Formal & Informal Education, Rationale…

- - - - Relevance of jobs, lifestyle may completely change such that methods of working and education are completely different from the way they are currently
    - - Constant changes and inventions in short periods of time
      - Employees are more replaceable given the increased competition
    - - Development of technology increases global competition and creates one between humans and machines
        
        Employees have to show their value and why they are worth being hired instead of being substituted for lower-cost machines
        
        Creativity and innovation is valued more than ever
- - - - Investment in human resources as much as possible
      - People's contribution to growing economy - mainly learnt what was necessary/useful to the country's development
    - - Economy is better at this point of time
      - Multiple academic pathways needed in order for students to bloom
        
        "Success" not judged based on a few things
        
        Focus on holistic development apart from just results
    - - Less emphasis on academic results
        
        Full subject-based banding
        
        Students choose suitable difficulty level for them
        
        Flexibility to choose their own learning and be lifelong learners
        
        Reduction of examinations and assessments
      - Competencies apart from academics
        
        Broadening in recognition of students' achievements
        
        Ranking of secondary schools stopped and information about top students no longer released
      - Values are as important as content knowledge and skills
    - - 4th Industrial Revolution
        
        Uncertainty and fast-paced changes
        
        Important: Knowledge, competencies, values, attitudes and dispositions
      - Continuous learning
        
        Technological and digital advancements in short periods of times
        
        Jobs of today may not exist in their current forms or even exist in the near future
        
        Necessary skills, as deemed by companies are changing continuously; some may not even exist yet
      - Focus on values such as empathy
        
        Service to the community
- - - - If students want to experience different things, they will need to change from one discipline to the other quickly
- - - - "incidental learning": The many advertisements we are subjected to every day, the many campaigns against smoking, unhealthy eating, HIV/AIDS etc are examples of learning that is not intended by the learner but is intended by the learning-provider.
- - - - Better to try out the general things that everyone knows
      - building common knowledge
- - - - This would require something like a biologist to propose questions on how blind bats can find their prey in absolute darkness.
        
        Perhaps a physicist to propose an answer to the question.
        
        biology and physics work hand-in-hand to uncover some of the mysteries of nature.
        
        Biologist might be able to identify the organ in a bat that allows it to engage in prey hunting in darkness.
