Education for Tomorrow:

An Interview with Professor Adam Kwan Professor Kwan, what are your predictions for education twenty years from now? People will use the Internet more and more to take classes in many different subjects, and in many different places! For example, students will study a math or history lesson online, and then upload their homework to the teacher by e-mail or even on an e-learning platform. Students will attend famous universities in another country without leaving home. These changes sound very exciting. I also think we will spend more time studying. In the future, people will change their jobs many times. People will have three or four different jobs in their lives, and each time they’ll go back to school fc more training. So, we'll see people of all different ages in colleges and technical schools. What about the subject’s children study in school? Will that change? Yes, definitely. Children will use computers and tablets in school from the very beginning -at six years old. And foreign languages wi be more important. All children will learn two or three languages in school- it's easy when you're young.

Write about your predictions for schools in the future. Write about the buildings, the teachers, the classes, the tests, and your other ideas. The school is not just a building made up of classrooms, a playground, facilities, a field, a laboratory, etc. School is the most important thing in a society because this is where the population is educated and acquires good knowledge that helps them in their personal and work life. In a few years, acquiring knowledge will be easier to acquire, as education gives people the ease of being able to focus more on online classes with teachers who will facilitate classes and an easy way to deliver from home to This allows everyone to enter any university and also advance more in their work habits without any problem. In addition, with this new form of study, we will not get bored or tired, since it is a dynamic form in which what society likes the most is technology, so studying will be easier and less complex because all the tools they need will be inside one. The faster and younger we are included in education, the better and easier it will be because our minds are full of new and great ideas that must be put into practice. Pag.55,56
