The Future Of Education

Education has been described all over the world as the key that opens the door of civilization and development. Undoubtedly, education in the future will remain paramount to every nation. It will remain an instrument ‘par excellence’ for effecting national development. Education in the future will definitely offer conceptual frameworks and tools that would proffer sustainable, practical and lasting solutions to problems of different nations. It would be a tool that would transform the world to a better place. Education would be the greatest investment that a nation can offer to her citizens. 

Despite the fact that the bureaucrat and technocrat are aware of the importance of education, there are some aspects of education that need to be changed. 

The formulation and implementation of policies is not properly done. Most of these policies are developed and tested in one school and then packaged and applied in many other contexts. Unfortunately, the local environment of each new context often differs from the original testing ground. As a result, the policy’s goals may not be valued by the local managers, or the targeted change may disrupt other valued tasks and missions. Proper consideration of culture, values and norm of the environment at which policies are formulated should be paramount for the purpose of having effective implementation of policies.
