The Future of Education and Skills in Asia
The robust technological innovation has transformed a new pathway in the education ecosystem. New skills are required to compete in the current 4IR industry and development. Building the future of education systems requires the curricula as a solid foundation to foster the creation of new skills and abilities in the 4IR industry. In ensuring inclusion and equity in education, it is important to engage with the underprivileged, gender equality, and disability.
