The world is being revolutionized by artificial intelligence. Most of the jobs today will
no longer exist in the future. Today’s education is preparing us for jobs that
computers can do better and better without complaining or demanding any salary.
We must not lose hope. Automation destroys many jobs, but it will also generate
other opportunities. Machines cannot replace what make us humans:
Understanding emotions
Solving new problems
Relating desperate concepts
Relating to one another.
There will always be a demand for these skills. The problem is not the technology-
we are the problem. We must learn a new way of education. To understand that
computers are not here to replace us, but to multiply us. Education must prepare us
for this future. Is it doing it?
The education of the future must prioritize:
Critical thinking versus memorization,
Encourage creativity on its way to efficiency,
Understand the needs of this new technological world.
It is no longer enough to just become a graduate or a doctor. You must never stop
learning. Anticipate change and embrace it. Distance education plays a fundamental
role in this future.
But make no mistakes about it, online schools should not take the credit, the credit
goes to the distant learner:
For his/her tenacity,
Responsibility, and
Motivation to complete an online program.
These qualities are the pillars of success in this future. The ICNM education of the
future is about Continuous learning, Innovative programs, Encouraging critical
thinking. Distance learning for professionals.
Welcome to the education of the future. Because we know that a good education
should teach you how to think, rather than what to think.
Here at ICNM we have developed a model of learning that is built around the
concepts of the future of education-the education of the future. Our programs are
offered 100% percent online. Using the below learning approach, we are able to
produce not just graduates but critical thinkers;
