processes and education as
well.

How an Industry responds is the
processes, mechanism, etc
How an industry is able to do this is the
support from People who are
knowledgeable, keeps on acquring
skills, and abiliities.

11. E 4.0
⊡ Education 4.0 is far more than just remembering for the
examination but making difference (rather adding value) through
being more imaginative and innovations.
⊡ Emphasis is on learning by doing.
⊡ A fish can not climb a tree, so the monkey can not sustain in water
for a long.
⊡ Diversity is the key of Education 4.0.
⊡ Education 4.0 with a successful response from the stakeholder may
bring a positive change in the society.

17. Focus Area
1. Awareness about the term Education 4.0.
2. Education 4.0 from the stakeholder's point of view.
3. Infrastructural readiness of the institutes for Education 4.0.
4. Expectations from the change.
5. Blended learning.
6. Assessing the digital skills of stakeholders.
7. Perception of stakeholders towards NEP and Education 4.0.
8. Connect among stakeholders under Education 4.0.

18. F/S/R
● It was found that despite being exposed and practicing Education 4.0 stakeholders were
unaware of the term Education 4.0 which led to underutilization of different tools
available under the theme.
● For most of the stakeholders, Education 4.0 is just the use of ICT and some advanced
technology in the Teaching-Learning process.
● Stakeholders overrated their technological/digital skills rather than what they have.
● Stakeholders expect that individuals and institutional setup are still not equipped with
proper infrastructural support/facilities to exploit the advantages of Education 4.0.
● The transition phase is creating a dilemma in the minds of students/parents in adapting
to the change.
● According to some Stakeholders, they expect Education 4.0 to bring a change in the
system which produces good human beings out of graduates who are responsible and
productive citizens of their county.
18

19. F/S/R
● There is a hope that this new education system will be fair to the stakeholders like
faculty who deserve to be appreciated, compensated, and treated with respect.
● The survey brought out many hopes and expectations of the stakeholders which they
only thought and maybe just talked about but never really spoke out loud.
● Stakeholders, mainly students and parents want the new education system to be
practically oriented rather than theoretical.
● Students from urban areas are better prepared with fundamental aspects as compared
to Rural Areas.
● Instructors are the most neglected stakeholders, as the major focus is students, use of
tools, etc., and Education 4.0 has nothing to do with it.
● Stakeholders identified Education 4.0 with Blended Learning as the new online learning
or pedagogy
19

20. F/S/R
● Blended Learning becomes an important factor in Education 4.0 as it has been found
that conducting only online classes lowers the productivity of the students. They want
education to be fun, personalized, practical, and interactive
● Education 4.0 should aim at equal opportunities for all the stakeholders in all aspects.
● Proper awareness among the instructors should be created so that they can act as a
change agent, through certain Government initiatives, training, and development
programs.
● Education 4.0 should focus on bridging the industry-educational institution gap.
● There should be proper vigilance on setting contents, delivery, and real-time
assessment of the students.
● The admission process, course material, teaching-learning (process/delivery methods),
assessment should be in proper sync with technology
20

21. Conclusion
• The Modern world needs a robust and active education system to meet the
challenges of the future and Industrial Revolution 4.0.
• The proactive involvement of Stakeholders becomes necessary with thoughtful
action.
• The education ecosystem is changing, 21st-century learning requires modern
delivery methods and henceforth Faculty-Student interaction requires a smarter
approach to make it interactive and engaging at the same time.
