    Schools of The Future

    Schools of the future will likely look very different than schools today. Experts predict that more learning will take place online, allowing students to have personalized lessons from teachers anywhere in the world. Some schools are already testing robot teachers to lead remote lessons. Students may also interact with laptops and other devices using gestures rather than keyboards. Advanced virtual reality and tactile technology could replace traditional activities like dissecting frogs or field trips, instead providing immersive digital experiences. Some scientists speculate that students may even have external hard drives connected to improve their memory, but ultimately it remains uncertain how much schools will truly change in the coming decades.

    Schools of the future

    How will schools look in 10, 20, or 50 years? It’s possible that they will look very different!
    Here are some predictions from the experts.

    More online learning.​ In the future, more teachers will teach without coming to school.
    They will be thousands of miles away and teach online. This will allow students to have
    personalised lessons with an online tutor, especially for less common subjects like
    Chinese. The school day will be shorter and school will be fewer days a week, because
    students can have some lessons at home.

    Robot teachers.​ A school in Columbus, Ohio in the USA already does a lot of online
    learning, and

    the school is now testing a new system with robot teachers. Some teachers teach from
    home, so

    a 1.2-metre-tall robot shows a video of the teacher on its screen. The robot can walk
    between the students’ desks and the teacher can see what the students are doing. Many
    students feel that the

    robot is more personal than a group lesson by video because the teacher can talk to each
    student individually. But there are some problems: sometimes the robot walks into doors or
    walls, and if students misbehave, the teacher can’t always see them!

    Interfaces using gestures.​ It’s more and more common for students to use laptops at
    school. In the future, the laptops won’t have a keyboard. Instead, students will use their
    hands and eyes to make gestures and the laptop will understand what the students mean.

    Tactile technology and virtual reality.​ Advanced 3D technology will create amazing
    virtual experiences. For example, students won’t dissect a real frog in biology lessons.
    They’ll work on

    a digital frog instead. Field trips will change too. If students are learning history, they’ll go to

    re-creations of ancient cities and historical events. In geography lessons, students will visit
    a digital forest in the Amazon. They can even use an app on their smartphones to get
    information about the plants and animals they see there!

    A human hard drive for memory.​ Some scientists say students will have a hard drive
    connected to their heads to download information and improve their memory capacity.

    Will all of this really happen? Maybe not. After all, schools didn’t change a lot in the past 50
    years. Maybe they won’t change too much in the next 50 years either!
