What will the US Education System be Like in 2030?

 The US Education System is highly regarded across the world. The approach to schooling is quite inventive and student-centric across the states and school districts. Around the age of 6, kids start elementary school and progress into high schools, first grade through twelfth. Students then advance into higher education which is college. It must of no surprise that 1 million students came to the US to pursue higher education in the academic years 2019-20 alone. 


Progressive methods employed here are acknowledged the world over. Talking about the world, nearly everything about it is changing so rapidly isn’t it? Let’s thank technology and ourselves. Ourselves because how well and how fast we have grasped it. It is fair to say, we are still in the early stages of the 21st century and yet, the radical shift that we have witnessed is so massive when we one considers how we have evolved in the larger history.


Coming back to the US education system and how it is going to be in 2030, it is safe to expect an overhaul just the same way mobile devices have taken over the landlines. By the way, let’s take a moment to acknowledge the phones, yeah?


4 Indisputable Shifts in US Education System by the year 2030


  1. Dynamic and Integrated learning  environments


Schooling experience in 2030 will have dynamic learning environments comparable to today's coworking spaces . Many schools are already testing the viability of a flexi-approach in which students can balance learning from home and school. Quite naturally, kids born in this decade will have a curriculum and teaching methodology that is distinct from the fundamentals of recent history. And undoubtedly, the future of learning is going to be a lot more experimental and project-based in nature. One simply cannot deny this with the massive adoption of technology we are seeing in daily life. 


  1. Learning Softwares and Data Centricity 


Let’s assume Mike is a high school student. He has an impressive record in Math, not so much in science and shows much promise in athletic events. With a data-centred learning software the school is able to provide Jack with a lot more personable learning experience. He now has a greater chance for higher success through life, teachers are proud and his parents are naturally quite happy.. Basically, everyone is winning. 


With coding becoming an increasingly popular skill, new, innovative solutions are just about everywhere, likewise in the education setup also. About half a million educational apps are said to be active according to reports in 2020. With that much volume and competition, one can expect the barriers that are going to be broken. Barriers like mass usage of technology, requirement for efficient devices and such are going to be such a distant memory for the kids of the coming decades even as we know that  the US education system is relatively much better equipped than other countries in the world. 


3. New-age  learning technology and AI powered solutions


Learning technology and AI is going to simplify so many things for the students as well as teachers. While it may take a month just to read its deeper impact, personalization and responsiveness are the golden keys in context.


Personalization: Artificial intelligence in education will equip students as well as teachers to learn and improve from their previous data. Suppose Mike is entering into high school and is a bit torn about which subjects to specialize in. AI by virtue of its nature helps provide a convincing and intelligent suggestion by quickly analyzing his grades and other metrics from his elementary schooling. While that being a broad example, the usage and effectiveness of AI is much greater and detailed. 


Responsiveness: We all have been in situations where we have slept over a doubt and forgotten it at times. Other times we have tried to get it cleared from someone but with an indefinite/ naive response better off without them kind of ones. Such scenarios are out of the realm of the future of learning as highly qualitative insights and support are set to expand the conveniences of instant gratification that we are already getting accustomed to in our daily lives.

4. Possible Structural Changes in School Districts

School Districts are a major part of the US education system. At present, enrollment into a school district is mostly relative to the proximity of residence. Suppose you are in San Diego and are looking to enroll your child in Grossmont Union High School District, you are most likely to get enrollment in a school of GUHSD which is closest to your place of living. This facet of school districts is expected to change with ‘Portfolio School Districts’. In this type of setting, students will be able to choose from a wider range of schools with greater emphasis on online and collaborative learning..
