(EdC 221/EdM 216 – Current Trends and Issues in Education)
Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution. It calls for a dynamic
transformation of how all aspects of business and production are done. A new wave
of global technology will change global production. Internationalization will be the
norm in all aspects of business and industry. Countries can no longer remain
confined within their borders but must become citizens of the world. Leaders in this
new era will need to be critical thinkers, and problem solvers, and be able to interact
across the globe. In short, they need to be liberally educated.
That kind of thinking is both reflective and interdisciplinary. Schools must reinvent
themselves quickly. They need to adapt to the demands of Industry 4.0 and have the
obligation to come out of their shell and hermetic spaces and try to give as many

opportunities as possible by creating adequate contexts for students to be prepared

Lifelong learning and upskilling: Education 4.0 recognizes the need for
continuous learning throughout life due to rapid technological advancements
and changing job market demands. It emphasizes the development of skills
such as critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, adaptability, and
resilience to prepare individuals for a dynamic and uncertain future.
Entrepreneurship and innovation: Education 4.0 fosters an entrepreneurial
mindset and encourages innovation among students. It promotes creativity,
risk-taking, and the development of entrepreneurial skills, enabling students to
identify opportunities, solve real-world problems, and contribute to economic
growth and societal well-being.
Ethical and responsible use of technology: Education 4.0 addresses the
ethical considerations associated with technology use. It emphasizes digital
ethics, privacy, cybersecurity, responsible use of social media, and the impact
of technology on individuals and society. It aims to develop responsible digital
citizens who understand the ethical implications of their actions.
In other words, Industry 4.0 will require the world to produce a new kind of worker—a
knowledge worker! Tomorrow’s industry leaders and managers must possess new

skill sets to adapt, manage, and take advantage of Industry 4.0. They must be critical
thinkers, problem solvers, innovators, and communicators, and provide value-driven
leadership. They must be able to see beyond the technology at play to the
implications for society for the use of that technology. These traits define the
knowledge worker. They must know the technology but be able to meet and solve all
aspects of the challenges engendered by this technology.
The big question now is, how can schools adapt to these demands?
