Education is a basic necessity for each and every individual and the environment in which one studies is crucial. Therefore, a large number of people feel that by the year 2050, our educational system will be replaced. I will try to shed some light on this point of view and then give my opinion at the end.
On one hand, one of the many important factors leading to this development would be the rapid increase in technology. Future generation of teachers and students, instead of physically coming to class would teach and learn through online platform. For instance, a glimpse of this scenario was observed in the recent years of COVID-19 pandemic, where physical classes were completely banned. So the academic institutions had to make a prudent decision of educating online. Doing so, students could attend their lectures regularly in a safe environment. Also the time required by the students to travel to and from home to college was saved and optimised.
On the other hand, some people opine that sitting physically in a classroom encourages students to actually focus. By attending classes online, students may not always learn due to many distractions. This would generally hinder their academic performance. Another important reason to support the latter argument is that being physically available in the classroom allows the students to make some friends. This is never possible in online method of schooling. Making friends and taking part in sport activities held at school and colleges make the children physically active and inculcate the values of teamwork.
In conclusion, I partially agree with the given premise. As both the sides make a strong argument, I would suggest that it is the children who should decide about this.
