Sažetak
Education is the central issue in a complex process of development, and it depends on population growth, working skills, as well as cultural and infrastructure development in general. This paper shows some important dynamics of education and changes in society. Some countries that have taken great steps to increase the enrolment and now have disappointing results will surely benefit from it in the future. Education levels have a long-term spur while growth of adult education is non-linear. This is an important aspect in defining the scenarios for the future population growth. It is estimated that by 2020 around 1.5 million new digitized jobs will be available worldwide. At the same time, about 90% of organizations currently lack IT skills, and 75% of educators and students feel there is a gap between their IT skills and job requirements. To ensure the competences needed for the digital economy, education needs to respond quickly to the need for IT skills that are constantly evolving and developing. Personalized learning, experiential learning and skill-based learning are the future of educational systems in the world. This paper presents these ideas and possible future direction of education that combines artificial intelligence, information technology and several new design paradigms that could change education forever.
