Education 2030: Mapping the Future

Results of the first stage of Russian education foresight

Disclaimer:

This foresight is neither a forecast nor an action plan. It is a map of highly probable events and emerging trends that may occur in the foreseeable future and that should be taken into consideration in the present.

Foresight is built by collective creative work of a large number of experts mapping events of the future. The foresight technology used by our group allows to consider not only linear trends, but also possible qualitative shifts in trends. However, any forecasts beyond next five years are indicative.

This foresight report is largely focused on Russia. As the variety of the content and management models of different educational systems is very large, educational systems stand on different stages of development and try to solve different challenges, the application of this report to other countries is limited. However, in respect to technologies that influence education, and to markets that exist in global competition (university education and education for adults), conclusions of this foresight are applicable on the global scale.

Important note: The list of trends and events in this foresight does not reflect the position of foresight authors and experts about the desirable future!

Conventionality of Key Terms

We understand that entities such as ‘School’ and ‘University’ are social conventions constantly redefined in terms of age of students, structure and focus. We see these social entities as systemic solutions to ‘existential’ problems that individuals (statistically) may face at a certain age (Erikson, 1959). In the modern society, these entities and their ‘tasks’ are (roughly) defined as below. In the future, the content and tasks of these entities may change (this foresight provides some suggestions on how this might occur). We decided to keep these names as to social solutions that may become manifested in a variety of forms.

Entity Typical age of students

‘Existential’ solutions

School 5-17 Socialization, formation of personality, etc.

University 17-30 Definition of professional interests and acquisition of professional knowledge & skills, formation of individual social network, etc.

Adult education

25-100+ Professional growth, redefinition of professional track, personal growth, support in personal transformation

Indicative description of entities referred to in this Foresight

Education 2030: Key results

Mass-scale transformation of education within next few years is inevitable.

Education will become total, continuous, human-centered, and represented by a variety

of forms.

Transformation of education is a growth opportunity for the business and economy, and is a tool of influence in the global market. Foresight indicates some of these emerging opportunities.

The government and the society can support or block these opportunities.

see Appendix 1

Megatrend: Revision of the social contract (Russia)

Around 2014: culminating conflict between the authoritarian and democratic way of development in Russia

Since 2015:‘Wikification’ (Russia / global):

spread of various network self-regulation forms in society

(in case of a choice of the democratic way)

Megatrends: New industrial wave (Global)

By the end of 2010s: launch of new Kondratieff wave of technologies,rebalance / shake-up of economic order

home base territories for World Khalifate leaders

Megatrends: New Aged (global)

2010s and onwards: aging population, growth of the middle class and increase in healthcare services lead to the formation of a large and growing class of socially, physically and mentally active people above 60

Rebalance of demographic pyramid towards adult and aged population:

major opportunities in education occur in the adult education market

Stages of Systemic Transformation (in Russia)

The System is not efficient, its inefficiencies are resolved through non-systemic solutions (e.g. private tutors, service clubs etc.) and ad hoc solutions

Pressures from government & business lead to implementation of ‘pragmatic’ solutions that address needs of the economy & the society better

Alternative educational solutions supported by technological solutions become systematically more efficient

Decomposition or re-composition of educational systems that would meet the needs of post-information society

ANNEX 1:MEGATRENDS

Relevant megatrends for Russian educationDemography: - Aging Russian population - Demographic decline before 2015 - Population grows due to migration from Central Asia and Caucasus republics population into Russian cities - Large Asian countries (China & India) become new leaders in science & culture due to the growth of young urban population

Ecology & natural resources - Worsened environmental situation in emerging economies, global climate change and other human impacts on natue

Society & politics: - ‘Citizen of the world’: growth of suprastate (global) culture - Growth of grassroot democracy, expansion of network communities - Growth of government autocracy couple with growing ineffiency - Youth infantilization - Expansion of global Islam, Virtual Khalifate project

Economy: - Globalization as a global competition for production of resources, products & services, Russia’s loss of high-tech production markets - Global competition in the labor market, increased proffessional mobility - Growth of the middle class, variety of consumption as a personal value - Fast change of the set and content of dominant professions - Change of the technological paradigm (after 2020) incl. growing highly local economy e.g. DIY segment supported by 3D printing technology

Extended megatrends list: demographic trends1. Total population growth from 7 billion (2011) to 9 billion (2030). The largest country in terms of population by 2025 is India. Overall tendency to decline in global population increase rate.2. Aging population in developed countries (European Union, USA, Japan etc.) and some emerging markets (Russia, China) due to two important demographic tendencies:•increase life longevity (improved healthcare, safety, quality of life etc.)•decreased fertility (lower number of children per 1 woman)A number of large countries still has dominance of young population (these countries are sources of political instability and new culture), incl.: •India•Asia: Afghanistan / Pakistan / Central Asia•Africa (e.g. Nigeria)3. Growth of population due to non-dominant ethnic groups (which often are poorer and less educated) in many developed countries including Russia4. Urbanization (broadly understood as the transfer of rural population into cities and spread of urban way of life into rural areas). Incl. growth of urbanization in developing countries (Asia) where the share of urban population goes from 30% in 2009 to 80% by 2025 (+1 billion urban citizen – some will become creators of new culture and new science).5. Growing importance of female professionals incl. executive positions6. Changing family structure in developed and developing markets (due to urbanization and growth in the quality of life):•families become smaller – increased importance of non-family / cross-family relations, lowered importance of family bonds•family forms change (emergence of many new forms of cohabitation, often not legitimized by the government)

Extended megatrends list: economic trends1. Globalization (as spreading of Anglo-Saxon type of capitalism)as a stable trend: increasing importance of international trade; global competition for production of commodities, goods and services, global competition in the labor marketas a declining trend: increasing isolationism following 2008 crisis, growing xenophobia2. Shifting centers of economic power:•possible end of Dollar Era and decrease in the importance of American capital by 2020 •risk of Euro zone collapse by 2020 and decline of the EU•rise of new centers of economic power: South-East Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong), India and China3. Growth of wealth:as a stable trend: •by 2020, middle class in China / India is expected to rise from 5% to 40%•sharp decline in absolute poverty (Africa, South-East Asia)as a declining trend:•increased inequality and rich-poor conflicts in Latin America, Africa, US, Russia•change of the production paradigm (around 2020-25 г.) may seriously redistribute the global wealth4. Commercialization (increased in-taking of human activities into the market domain)5. Shift in consumer demand types from ‘product economy’ to ‘experience economy’ with individualization of consumption6. Changes in economic structure•growth of post-industrial economy and service sector•expansion of post-information economy•shift from ‘profession’ to ‘line of occuption’ as a paradigm of the labor market•growth of localized economy incl. DIY sector (supported by 3D printing)7. Continuing importance of basic industries, incl.:•growing global demand for food (change from extensive to intensive production technologies)•growing global demand for energy and change in energy sources (towards renewable)•ICT infrastructure•uncertain trend: transportation (possible ‘roadless economy’)

Extended megatrends list: politics and society1. Growing supranational (global) culture (supported by Internet and cosmopolitan megapolises)2. Democratization:as a stable trend: increased variety of social self-organization forms, ‘grassroot democracy’, incl. forms supported by Internetas a declining trend: limitation of democratic initiatives by governments even in developed countries; disappearance of ‘democracy champions’ (e.g. USA)3. Change in leading social institutions:•growing government inefficiency•growing importance of corporations as social leaders•growing importance of network communities and self-organized movements•growing importance of world religions in their national / regional versions, incl. spread of religious fundamentalism•post-modernity culture crisis4. Territorial and social instability•intra-country ethnic / religious conflicts in large countries: Russia, India, China, EU, …•risk of large country collapse (Russia, China, India, USA etc.)5. New transnational geopolitical projects:•‘virtual Khalifate’ (fundamental Islam global expansion and leadership)•restart of US geopolitical project (after 2020)6. Growth of inter-country interactions:as a stable trend: emergence of inter-country partnerships and activities not related to the governmentas a declining trend: collapse of existing institutions (UN, IMF, …) while new ones have not emerged yet7. Increased possibility of global war conflicts (by 2020):•global Islam activities: India-Pakistan war (and similar…) and risks of global war•China-Russia war (as a consequence of mass scale crisis in China)

Extended megatrends list: environment and natural resources1. Global climate change:•changes in temperature (mean / variance) – change in regions suitable for living•change in ocean currents (e.g. disappearance of Gulfstream)2. Continuing disappearance of wild nature3. Expansion of agricultural segment and rise of new agricultural regions (incl. possible second reclamation of agricultural land in European Russia and increase of agricultural land in Siberia)4. Collapse of oil industry (by 2030):•shift towards energy transport•shift of energy generation to gas, wind, coal and nuclear energy5. Rapid decline of environment quality in emerging markets due to rapid industrialization (esp. China, Brazil, Mexico)6. Water deficit in emerging markets (esp. China and India)7. Risk of pandemics due to population growth and rapid urbanization in developing countries (not always supported by the development of healthcare and hygiene infrastructure)
