      Technical skills schools should be teaching

      In the existing scenario, wherein education has progressed along with technology; it is essential to ensure a robust academic background backed with real-world experience. As society transforms into the generation of e-learning and advanced technology, here are some mandatory technical skills that are required for the students to enhance their overall awareness and have a lasting impact.

      Robots, artificial intelligence, automation, etc. are no longer related to science fiction movies. Enough evidence indicates the changes in what the workforce requires are already underway, and it would continue to expand in the coming years. Across the globe, leaders and corporate decision-makers are discussing the future of work and the transformations brought by technology and automation.

      Teachers should stay abreast of disruptive technology and adapt quickly, which would simplify their job and enable them to teach more efficiently. Most of the job functions are at risk of automation. It is also vital to understand that these functions involve jobs across sectors as well as skill. Automation would redefine several roles and related professions.

      A school system must prepare students to succeed in this transforming environment. A student enrolling for primary school today would complete education in the mid-2030s, and their career would go beyond 2060. It is not easy to forecast what the workforce would require at that time; it is evident that the employment scenario is changing and would continue to improve with the rapid advancement in technology.

      In school, teachers are teaching the same subjects. Discussions on the future of education involve incorporating technology in the classroom. Problem-solving, creative thinking, digital skills, and collaboration are in high demand from a corporate perspective. Yet, schools are not focusing on them. Even in schools that teach digital skills, they emphasize on using technology instead of on how to create technology.

      Society has the challenge of revamping a foundational education to stay in line with the evolution of skills needed to solve problems, innovate, and perform. The educational system, on the whole, is not succeeding in preparing the next generation for the future.

      To prepare students with the creative, collaborative, and digital problem-solving expertise of the future, schools must include advanced computational skills as part of their curriculum. Teachers must be inspired to learn continuously, and only then, students would follow the instructions of the teachers.
