Future Education and Its Challenges: A Millennial’s Perspective

Abstract

In a rapidly changing world, school systems need to adapt themselves rapidly in order to be able to prepare their students for the upcoming challenges that are threatening the world today. If many steps have been taken by humanity towards progress, the multiple efforts needed to not stop this trend can be achieved only if human beings are taught differently from the past: soft skills must enter school programs more significantly, since only by nurturing empathetic and environmentally aware citizens who are able to think critically, will we be able to preserve democracy, improve social justice and international cooperation and save the world (and ourselves) from the threat of climate change
