This report summarised the evolution and requirements of the educational system along with the fourth industrial revolution 4.0. Digitalization, artificial intelligence, and portable computing have led to new learning scenarios transforming traditional education into a new model that teachers have to adapt and innovate to cope with new generations' expectations. The fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0) brought about a state of change in education. IR 4.0 is disciplined by artificial intelligence and digital-physical frames, making the human-machine interaction even extra versatile. By preparing students for the next life and working with IR 4.0, you can replace people working in specific fields with smarter robots. Education requires the use of relevant information and skills that cannot be replaced by robots.

Future of the Classroom: Emerging Trends in K-12 Education - Spain Edition
Google has launched a Global Report based on the future of the classroom, as it is evolving faster than ever. The aim is to help teachers around the globe to have tools to prepare students for challenges that don't yet exist. In this way, they have published a list of emerging trends in classroom education, such as digital responsibility, life skills & workforce preparation, computational thinking, collaborative classrooms among others that are based on soft skills rather than hard skills. The best part of this website is that you can find trends by country and watch different videos that can help teachers to transform methodologies.

OECD Future of Education and Skills 2030
This report aims to highlight that education is not just transferring knowledge but also teaching students to develop skills, values, and critical thinking to face a world that is increasingly complex with the need to be more inclusive and sustainable for all. OECD Education Policy Committee in 2015 recognized the importance of educational change based on the learners. The Future of Education and Skills 2030 project was launched in 2016 to help countries prepare their education systems for the future. Currently, the project is in the second phase which focuses on how to design learning environments for learners with different skills, attitudes, and values, therefore, they all will learn differently so a static curriculum does not fit in this scheme, curricula will have to be dynamic and personalized to ensure learner's development.

The future, by definition, is unpredictable; but by being attuned to some of the trends now sweeping across the world (OECD, 2019) we can learn – and help our children learn – to adapt to, thrive in, and even shape whatever the future holds. Students need support in developing not only knowledge and skills but also attitudes and values, which can guide them towards ethical and responsible actions. At the same time, they need opportunities to develop their creative ingenuity to help propel humanity towards a bright future.

The OECD Future of Education and Skills 2030 project has observed some innovative features of education systems that are just emerging but that may become the “new normal” in tomorrow’s education systems.

Digital Transformation Trends:
As colleges and universities embrace technological innovations, their priority is improving the student experience — and providing high-quality learning tools for the growing number of diverse learners. A recent survey of 62 higher education decision-makers conducted by the Center for Digital Education (CDE) identified the following technologies as vital to digital transformation: digital content (58%), student information systems (SISs)/learning management systems (LMSs) (44%), and automation technologies (39%).

Experts widely differ, as in the definition of socialism, as to when Covid-19 would leave us. Even world leaders are helpless before the electron-microscopic virus. What's next after Covid is a bewildering mystery. One thing is certain—life will never return to the pre-corona era. Taking into account the trends that have emerged in the academic field during these pandemic days, we can make certain intelligent extrapolations. Education, an engine of change, plays a vital role in ensuring the quality of life. Its style is bound to undergo a significant transformation.

Style of Online Courses
A traditional teacher cannot easily change as an effective online teacher. This calls for the massive training of millions of teachers. We have to keep in mind that this is not distance education or a set of correspondence courses.
On the flip side
No hands-on skill can be developed without the close guidance of an instructor. Online teaching of children in lower standards will not be effective, since their movements have to be continuously monitored by the teacher.
Merits of online programmes
Video lectures can be viewed repeatedly whenever students feel comfortable. They can derive the benefits of lessons from the best educators in the world.
Other impacts
A blended system that combines traditional classroom teaching and online exercises would gain popularity. Students may be able to get two or even more degrees simultaneously from the same or different universities in the online mode.

New Digital Professions
In the European Union (EU), the technological revolution is causing significant changes in the world of work. Some jobs are at risk of being lost to machines. Others are being transformed and new ones are being created. As a result, the skills we need are also changing. At the same time, new forms of employment are on the rise. Occupational structures are shifting, often leading to polarisation in employment and wages which in turn, can increase inequalities.

When a term appears to be ambiguous, it helps to break it down. We like the following three-level understanding of the term:
DIGITIZATION
Analog-digital conversion of data and processing of data in digital form — for example, the step from a record to a CD, or from paper files to digital forms.
DIGITALIZATION
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Transfer of analog business processes that are already understood into the digital world — for example, the move But how does a short response time help us if we don‘t have a clear vision or if the solution is a moving target?

Labour Market Trends
The impact of digitalisation on the workforce depends on technological innovations and uptake of these new technologies but OECD estimates suggest:
Another 32% face major changes in the tasks required in their job and, consequently, the skills they would need to do their job.
Some 14% of workers face a high risk that their tasks will be automated
These workers will need to significantly adapt to succeed in the new digitally enabled work environment. OECD makes a policy how to prepare workers for new jobs and for change, empower people with a mix of skills to succeed in a digital world of work and get ready for a massive training challenge.

These types of professionals carry distinct skills that can be divided into five groups:
- Business skills
- Specialized Industry skills
- General and soft skills
- Tech baseline skills
- Tech disruptive skills

The skills required by emerging professionals include different abilities, combining technical and multifunctional skills. The report specifies what the specific learnings/updates and competencies that are created in each profession group of the future are.
As professions of the future, they reflect a growing need for new services and products across all global economies. On the one hand, the adoption of new technologies will give rise to a greater demand for jobs in the green economy, for functions at the forefront of data economy and AI, as well as new functions in engineering, cloud computing, and product development. On the other hand, there is also a need for greater human intervention and interaction in the new economy, thus creating a need for jobs in the service economy: roles in marketing, sales, and content production, as well as roles at the forefront of people and culture.

These young people have a high control of digital tools, since they were born in a digital age and never lived in a world without internet. They are characterized by being pragmatic, future-oriented, entrepreneurial and communicative in a direct way. However, when approached about the “digital economy”, they state that they do not feel prepared, showing that they are concerned about their future work
The document focuses on the transformations that digital natives, nicknamed Generation Z - a generation motivated by money and job security, who believe in careers that have a purpose and passion, although they consider that there is a lack of job opportunities - will find jobs of the future.
