Trends Shaping Education 2022 supports long-term thinking by examining major forces changing society and asking what they could mean for education. It organizes evidence around economic growth, living and working, knowledge and power, identity and belonging, and the physical world, with each chapter considering COVID-19's disruptions and accelerations.
Key ideas
Topics include inequality, changing employment, digitalization, scientific production, demographic change, political participation, climate, urbanization, health, and evolving social identities. The report does not predict a single future or claim that trends determine outcomes. Instead, it combines robust historical data with open questions and possible implications so policy makers and educators can expose assumptions, explore interactions, and prepare for uncertainty. Education is treated as both affected by wider change and capable of shaping it.
Why it matters
The report encourages horizon scanning, scenario discussion, and strategies that remain useful across several futures. Its practical contribution is a structured evidence base for asking how curriculum, institutions, professional roles, equity safeguards, relationships, and lifelong learning may need to evolve.
