Did you ever wonder what the impact of climate change will be on our educational institutions in the next decade? What does it mean for schools that our societies are becoming more individualistic and diverse?
Trends Shaping Education is a triennial report examining major economic, political, social and technological trends affecting education. While the trends are robust, the questions raised in this book are suggestive, and aim to inform strategic thinking and stimulate reflection on the challenges facing education.
This 2022 edition covers a rich array of topics related to economic growth, living and working, knowledge and power, identity and belonging and our physical world and human bodies and interactions. It includes a specific focus on the impact of COVID‑19 on global trends, and new futures thinking sections inviting readers to reflect on how the future might differ from our current expectations.
This book is designed to give policy makers, researchers, educational leaders, administrators and teachers a robust, non-specialist source of international comparative trends shaping education, whether in schools, universities or in programmes for older adults. It will also be of interest to students and the wider public, including parents.

Growth
Economic growth has raised the living standards of many, but social and environmental sustainability remain a challenge. Education can foster adaptability in a changing global economy and encourage reflection on the type of future we want to build. This chapter explores these issues through five themes: Growing prosperity: highlights how economic growth has improved living standards and reduced extreme poverty. A new source of growth: presents a new driver of economic growth: investment in intangible assets. Demographic pressures: examines the pressures of population ageing on fiscal and social sustainability. A growth revolution?: contrasts the shift towards renewable energy with increasing energy consumption and reliance on fossil fuels. To infinity and beyond: illustrates the potential benefits and challenges of the growing space economy. These trends are linked to education and its future through a series of questions and scenarios. Potential implications of COVID-19, both immediate- and longer-term, are discussed.
