EDUCATION 4.0
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Technology is a powerful tool that has
changed how teachers teach and how
students learn. It has provided people with
access to education and access to different
ways of communicating and working together.
 INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION 4.0 (IR)
AND EDUCATION 4.0
 Education 4.0 is a response to industrial
revolution 4.0 or IR 4.0. What is IR 4.0?
THIS IS THE Fourth Industrial
Revolution.Obviously,the fourth Industrial
Revolution came after a first, Second and
Third Industrial Revolution which are
referred to as IR 1.0, IR 2.0 and IR 3.0
respectively
 Schwab , the founder and executive
chairman of the World Economic forum
,the International Organization for public-
private Cooperation, describes an
industrial Revolution as the appearance of
"new technologies and novel ways of
perceiving the world that trigger a
profound change in economic and social
structures"
 IR 1.0 Was the invention of the steam
engine with the steam engine,human labor
was replaced by the machine.Many
laborers lost their jobs because machines
did their jobs even more efficiently.
 IR 2.0 was the age of science and mass production.things started
to speed up with the discovery of electricity.there were a number
of key inventions-gasoline engines, airplanes , chemical
fertilizer.Advancement in science weren't limited to the
laboratory.
Scientific principles were brought right into the factories,the most
notable of which is the assembly line,which effectively powered
mass production.Recall here Henry's Ford's company where by the
early part of the 20th century mass produced cars with the
gasoline engine built on an assembly line.
 IR 3.0 is the digital revolution.We moved from
analog electronic and mechanical devices to
digital technology which dramatically disrupted
industries, especially global communications.We
are now enjoying the blessings of digital
revolution - computers.cellphones.We used to
tune in our television with an antenna.This is now
replace by an Internet-connected tablet that lets
your stream movies (digital)
 IR 4.0 is a computers connected to computers.It is
interconnectivity.its the internet of things (Artificial
Intelligence.In IR4.0 we have robots,driverless cars,
genetic sequencing and editing, miniaturized
sensors,and 3D printing.to name some.We get digitally
connected to one another across the globe.We can
know anything.anytime, anywhere. Global community
connects everything, everywhere always- the
INTERNET of everything Stem cell curing becomes
obsolete.with genetic sequencing and editing,we can
remove the sickness.
EDUCATION 4.0
With all these profound changes brought about
by IR 4.0, how should education be? What and
how should school teach? What should
curriculum consist of? What should curriculum
focus on? The answer or answers to these are
actually what Education 4.0 means.In order
words, Education 4.0 is the response of the
education sector to all the changes brought by IR
4.0.
TO be relevant, schools should consider some statistics:

• 80% of the skills trained in the last 50 years can now

be outperformed by machines

• 65% of children who entered in 2018 will work in a job

that have not been invented yet

• 49% of current job have the potential for machine

replacement (statistics,Whelsh. 2018 )
 With the effeciency of machines,routinized job can be done
by machines with greater effeciency than human laborers.So
human laborers must be taught how to use the machines at
their advantage.But machines lack important human
characteristics such as creativity, flexibility, compassion and
empathy.School curricula then should focus on the
development of these innately human characteristics of
creativity, flexibility, compassion and empathy. Actually,
creativity and flexibility, compassion and empathy,form part
of the skills demanded by IR 4.0 enumerated by the World
Economic Forum Report as follows:
Complex Problem Solving
Critical Thinking
Creativity
People Management
Coordinating with Others
Emotional Intelligence
Judgement and Decision - making
Service Orientation
Negotiation
Cognitive Flexibility
 EDUCATION 4.0 must intentionally and formally
include program outcomes, course outcomes and
learning outcomes that are focused on the
development of the 10 skills for success in IR 4.0
school curricula should develop a new generation
that is analytical in their way of thinking and is
continously adaptable to new skills and new roles
 Course content must necessarily,purposive(
not incidental teaching) include or integrate
these 10 skills .they must be taught to welcome
machines and other features brought by IR 4.0
learners should be taught that AI can enhance
or optimize creativity but cannot create. AI is a
great tool for scientist, artists, musician and
writers,
