    REFLECTION

    At the moment we view education as a means of equipping ourselves with knowledge


    and skills in order to fulfill some function (i.e. to get a job). But true education is very different.

    We have now entered an era - which will probably be accelerated by Covid - where most
    of our jobs will become obsolete. We will produce less and we will also rely heavily on AI to get
    as much work done as possible. So future jobs will be scarce. But education will become more
    important than ever.

    Education on social relations. These will be courses that will provide people with
    information about the world we live in and include topics such as our connection and dependence
    on our natural environment, governance, personal finance, etc. The goal of this education is not
    merely to provide information but also to help people connect socially and emotionally to one
    another, thereby building a sense of belonging, connection, and mutual responsibility.

    This new normal will hopefully drive education authorities to design a sustainable
    framework for a needs-based curriculum and provide a repertoire of learning modules. Multiple
    types of literacy and modalities required to survive and contribute to the 21st century should be
    included in this curriculum.

    By the same token, students need to build up a character of interdependence, discipline


    and responsibility. Along the same lines, the current learning-from-home practices should gear
    parents to be a beacon of these character values instead of extended academic tutors for their
    children.

    One caveat in this new normal is that teachers often use technology to perpetuate existing
    teacher-centered pedagogy rather than using technology to shift themselves and their teaching
    to student-centered pedagogy.

    Therefore, professional development is a continuing need for teachers not only to learn
    the skills but also to integrate the newly acquired skills into sound pedagogy.
