Résumé

Technological advancements in the internet, automation, artificial intelligence and robotics are impacting all areas of our lives, including education. These changes are rapidly influencing the skill set of 21st Century learners born in the internet age. While these changes are taking place, the way children learn continues to be the same. Education reforms embracing these changes are needed to meet the needs of 21st Century learners. Our learners must be prepared to fill various roles as workers, parents, citizens, and consumers. A culture of learning, unlearning and relearning is necessary to apply their knowledge and skills effectively to the rapidly changing world. Therefore, we need a paradigm shift in the education system to address these gaps brought about by technological advancement and changing skills. The paper addresses the learner, instructor, learning environment and the administration side of the education sector. Finally, the paper ends with some suggestions for developing a learner who embraces learning, unlearning and relearning culture.
