As we move towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and beyond, the way we approach education is being transformed. As technologies become increasingly intelligent, educational affordances will expand in ways we have never imagined. There is an urgent need to align current educational practices with the new opportunities offered by 4IR, particularly in terms of physical, digital, and biological interconnectivity.

This book is divided into two main parts: general issues and specific issues related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The first part provides a framework for educational implementation in the 4IR era, covering relevant policies and practices. It also discusses the preparation of university students and future school leaders to meet the challenges of this new era.

The second part of the book focuses on discipline-specific issues, including emerging technologies for English learning, Mathematics, and STEM education. Topics such as computational thinking and the development of innovative science laboratories are also explored. The book concludes with a chapter on entrepreneurial education in the context of 4IR.

This book is suitable for educationists, researchers, government officers, industry players, and members of the public who are interested in re-engineering the future of education in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
