Commentary: Transforming Education 4.0 to Education 5.0: sustainable education

Abstract

BackgroundEducational requirements can be treated as learners' needs.With changing global scenarios, these needs increased beyond the typical expectations like having healthy classrooms, competent teachers and good study curriculum and material.During COVID-19, the requirement of having a good online teaching app gets added to these needs, which remained there even after the pandemic.On the other side, the government's initiative to reach education at the grass-root level, even in remote places, accelerated online education to address the learning gap for providing education to all.A combined effect of these facts created a critical need for taking assistance from advanced technologies.The fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 already augmented the digital transformation, automation and data exchange practices specifically in the manufacturing industries.The education sector is not much different than the manufacturing sector.Education 4.0 is all about learning techniques related to Industry 4.0 that includes the technology like Big Data Analysis, Internet of Things (IoT), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Block Chain Technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).After the success of Education 4.0, the crucial needs and requirements shifted to the education that can make the teaching more humanized.Education 5.0 addresses these changing needs.This paper explains about transforming Education 4.0 to Education 5.0 to make education sustainable and learner-centric.
