As education shifts from traditional content delivery to students to teaching students how to develop and employ agile, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, the teacher's role is being redefined. This transformation is essential to meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), specifically targets 4.1 and 4.A, which aim to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Furthermore, the World Economic Forum in 2024, released a report that calls for an Education 4.0 Framework which can “serve as an inspiration for global leaders and practitioners.” The chapter explores “Who is the future schoolteacher?” and “How do we prepare them to teach?” It posits that the future educator will
be less a conveyor of information and more a facilitator of learning experiences that foster critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability.
This shift is driven by the imperative to prepare students for scenarios that do not yet exist, requiring a fundamental rethinking of teaching methodologies and the competencies that educators need to develop. This shift thus requires us to embrace change as
we prepare and engage future teachers in designing instruction that assists all learners in meeting that set of skills. Key recommendations from the 2024 World Economic Forum’s Education 4.0 Framework (World Economic Forum, 2024) will be considered as they relate to the preparation of future teachers.
