An Interview with Professor Angela Kwan
Professor Kwan, what are your predictions for education 20 years from now?
One big change will be the use of the Internet to take classes in many different subjects. For example, students will study a math or history lessons online, and then send their homework to the teacher by email. Students will attend famous universities in another country without ever leaving home.
These changes sound very exciting.
I also think we will spend more time studying. In the future, people will change jobs many times. People will have three or four different jobs in their lives, and each time, they will go back to school for more training. So, we’ll see people of all different ages in colleges and technical schools.
What about the subjects the students study in school? Will that change?
Yes, definitely. Children will use computers in school from the very beginning—at six years old. And foreign languages will be more important. All children will learn two or three languages in school—it’s easy when you’re young.
