Description
Repositioning Education in the 21st Century Policy and Practice in the Age of FIR Education in the twenty-first century stands at a critical crossroad. Rapid technological change, artificial intelligence, globalisation, shifting labour markets, and growing social inequalities are transforming what it means to teach, learn, and prepare young people for the future. Repositioning Education in the 21st Century examines the relationship between educational policy and practice in an era of unprecedented change. It explores how education systems can move beyond technology adoption towards more equitable, inclusive, culturally responsive, and human-centred approaches to learning. Bringing together perspectives on policy, leadership, teachers, digital transformation, curriculum, equity, and future-ready education, this book argues that technology should serve education—not define it. At its heart is a call to reposition education around human agency, ethical judgement, cultural identity, and the development of capabilities needed to navigate an increasingly complex world.
